I plan to buy the Amd Athlon Xp 2500+. I was wondering if there are any recomendations on a good mobo with overclocking features and possibly a heatsink recommendation. Here are some of the mobos Ive been looking at but dont know if they have good overclocking features: MotherBoards--> 1)Abit KD7A KT400A SkA 200/266/333MHz DDR400 w/Audio/Lan ATX MB 2)Abit NF7 nForce2 AMD Socket A 333 FSB 3DDR 8x AGP Audio/LAN ATX MB 3)ABIT NF7-S ( Ver. 2.0 ) nForce2 AMD Socket A 333 FSB 8x AGP SATA 150 Audio/ iEEE/ LAN ATX MB 4)Asus A7V8X-X VIA KT400 SkA 3DDR PC3200 AGP 8x W/LAN/Audio ATX MB 5)Asus A7N8X-X AMD nForce2 400 SocketA 3DDR ATA133 USB 2.0 8x AGP ATX HeatSinks--> 1)Cooler Master ASB-V73-U2 Aero 7+ Socket A, 370, 462 Heat Sink 2)Thermaltake A1725 VOLCANO 11+Xaser AMD Socket A Edition Highest Performance Cooler

i've been planning to buy the 2500+ also (its a good overclocking cpu). The abit nf7-s ver 2.0 probably has the most overclocking potential out of all the mobos here. At least thats what the reviews agree on here. been planning on the 11+ xaser also but don't know much about it yet

MOBO: #3 Abit has far more features (to OC with) than Asus boards. Heatsink: slk900, Vantec Tornado 80MM fan J^

Shuttle AN35N ULTRA It will do what the others do for half the price.

i concur with the abit nf7-s and 2500+... i use a swiftech mcx462+ heatsink and 80mm tornado and run a cool 30-35 when overclocked to 200x11...so far so good
