Hi everyone,

I have some money, but not too much, and I want a new mobo. I saw in Newegg these:

Which is the best motherboard for overclocking my celeron d CPU? I want to take it at least to 3.06 GHZ.
I need the AGP and PCI locking feature, so I can overclock only the CPU. I do not care about overclocking the memory, only the FSB.
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks!
 
Hello! Welcome to TechSpot!

What MoBo do you currently have?
Between the 2, this one: MSI 865PE NEO2-V
At that price you may find something much better like\
an abit IC7-g or an asus P4P800-vm.

Welcome! Abit is a great motherboard to overclock, I have the IS7-G which is an awesome board, although I'm not brave enough (or rich enough for that matter) to experiment. I have read some interesting articles on their website about people who have, and got quite a performance boost. www.abit.com.
Let us know what you decide and how you do. :wave:
 
:mad: Thanks for your replies.
Currently, I have a MSI 661FM2 mobo, and it doesn´t allow me to overclock. I would like to buy the mobo from Newegg. So if you see a better socket478 mobo in there, please tell me. I just want to overclock my CPU without troubles.
Some time ago, i choosed an ABIT IS7-E2 mobo from Newegg, but they no longer have it :mad:
That´s why i´m looking for another one.
Thanks!
