    new mb to oc a pIII?

    Just wondering if anyone makes a mb for a PIII that you can overclock with. I have my old PIII 933 I would like to do something with but cant find a good mb to use. Any ideas or is this somthing no one does since the P4 are out?

    P3 mobos are tougher to find nowadays, and unless you are on a tight budget and need to replace a dead mobo, there's no good reason IMO to buy one. Since you're already running 133FSB and CuMine P3's topped out at 1G, you aren't going to be able to OC much anyways.

    For $150-200 you can buy a an XP1700+, and a good NForce2 mobo and OC far higher than that P3 will. If you want to reuse your RAM, check out Shuttle's AK32E or Biostar's M7VIG Pro. Downside to those mobos is the KT266A/KM266 chipset only supports 266FSB and doesn't have multiplier unlock like NF2, so your OCing will be limited.

    PIII 933 uses 133MHz FSB , just little bit OC'ed , doesn't have affect that much , you're just goin to 150 MHz FSB.
