i would go for the epox if i had the money :)

Cranox did 280fsb with his and it's easy to do some mod's on it if you have killer ramm.

you could try the Gigabyte K8NNXP but i read that's only going untill 250FSB but a biosflash would do the trick :)

and it has power supply module to have better voltline's

look's good @ performing

I made up my mind and bought an MSI nforce3 motherboard. Cheap, stable, fully featured and easy to get. :)

It also got a good reputation to work well with 1GB CH-5, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my 2*512MB twinmos ch-5.

I just got my MSI from Piotke back, seems we have the same mainboard:)

Any experience running 1 gig ram or ch-5? : )

[H] managed to run their sample at 300fsb, very impressive!

I dont have time to install it now, building AXP test bench now with DFI Infinity

I had two sticks of 256MB Ch-5 mem, they worked great on my K8V (Via chipset), if you would plan on getting the Abit mobo....

Also, you don't have to worry about running at 230-250. You don't have to run 1:1, it has no difference on these motherboards. You can go all the way up to 300MHz HTT and have the memory running at ~240MHz with the dividers, it will be the same thing if not better. The memory can never really run 1:1 with the CPU anyway.

MSI only has 2.85v DDR :-/

I like motherboards which offer 3v+

I'm using CH-5 which doesn't need/like high voltage so I don't really care. : )

I haven't had time to test overclocking abilities yet, but the MSI K8N seems to have no problem running 2*512MB Twinmos CH-5. :)

The MSI board reports extremely high temperatures with stock cooling though: 68 degrees average. Must be a bug, because it's installed correctly.
