The motherboard I will be using is built around Intel's new 845PE chipset which offers support for DDR333. There aren't many mobos available yet for this chipset, but I came across a "motherboard shootout" over at www.anandtech.com and came across a motherboard that would ultimately be the one I chose for this project.

Here is a blurb from Anand's site:
"As far as overclocking was concerned, the Albatron PX845PEV Pro ended up doing a fantastic job...we were able to hit 166MHz FSB (this will be the next speed grade Intel hits once Prescott goes online in 2003). This is close to a 600MHz overclock...all on default core voltage...this is quite the feat...the overclocking success doesn't stop there either...Intel officially claims that the 845PE chipset is validated for no higher than DDR333 operation, however we were able to reach as high as 439MHz on default VDIMM...want a high-performing 845PE motherboard, look no further than the Albatron PX845PEV Pro"

Well, here it is...the Albatron PX845PE Pro:

The Albatron board coupled with a 2.4G P4 and a stick of Corsair XMS3200 should lay down the foundation for a potentially high overclock.

That's it for today...Cheers!
