    making new P4 2.53 system...what's the best Mobo?

    what's the best mobo for a P4 system? I plan on doing minimal overclocking (probably only 200-300 mhz MAX for CPU)...I want something that's really fast DDR or RD doesn't matter. I also want soemthing that has alot of on board features like sound and LAN. With price not mattering (under 170 though I guess), what's a good mobo? thanks!

    The new gigabyte 8sg667 runs pc3200 more stable than any other sis 648 board. But apparantly they are already sold out of the first batches. Good board, but no voltage adjustments yet. Maybe later.
