  • Buying motherboard: locking AGP/PCI freq

    Hi,

    I'm going to buy a new motherboard to overclock my forthcoming P4 1.8a ES or a Celeron 2G... however, the motherboard needs to have AGP/PCI frequency locking at 66/33MHz... okay even 1/5 divider might do.

    but I have run into a difficulty.... hmm... the manufacturers don't usually state whether they have these feature, and most (80%+) reviews don't take this feature into account.

    So, is there any easy way to know which boards have this? (like a list or something). Also, any recommendations??

    Thanks a lot.

    Most newer Asus boards have it, i.e. my shiny new P4PE. It's the best board I ever had.
    main system: P4 Northwood 2.0 @ 2.5GHz, Asus P4PE (LAN + Audio onboard), 512MB Infineon PC333 CL2.5, Sapphire/BBA Radeon 9500@9700 128MB (hardmodded), IBM 100GB ATA-100, 17" Belinea (crappy), and some other toys...ADSL (1,5mbit/s down, 256kbit/s up...sweeeeeet!)

      Yea... Asus... I suppose some new Epox boards would have too. But they are expensive :~ my 1.8a don't deserver that kind of boards...

      I'm more thinking something like MSI 845E Max2...
