Hi everyone,
Last time I was on Newegg.com, looking for a new motherboard, I decided to buy a MSI 865PE Neo2-V motherboard, but it´s a little expensive for me, since I don´t work yet :mad: :unch:
So, I saw on Newegg today the fantastic price of this Albatron mobo:

For me, it´s quite a difference between the 2 mobos.
The questions are:
a) What do you think about the quality of this mobo? Is Albatron a good, respectable company?
b) What about overclocking? I really want to overclock my CPU. Does this thing have agp and pci locking mechanism?

Another questions about overclocking... I have 512MB of Corsair Value Select RAM, and i saw on the web that this is not the best RAM for overclocking. I don´t want to overclock the RAM, just the FSB.
Is it possible to overclock the FSB without touching the RAM? What about the RAM:FSB ratio?

Sorry about all the questions, but I never overclocked before.
Thanks!!!
