I am planning on buying a 2GHZ celeron and overclocking the hell out of it. Does anybody have any suggestions about wich Socket 478 motherboard would be good for overclocking?
Thanks in advance,

Asus has a great reputation for the quality of their boards. Remember that P4 and the new Celerons use the same socket, so what a newer P4 uses for mobos is what a Cel 2.0 can use as well.

If you want my two cents, I would buy a P4 chip within the price range you are within and overclock that instead. P4's have more cache and are (relatively) easy to overclock. I have a friend that has a P4 1.6A running stable at 2.4 or so. This is with stock HSF and a bunch of case fans. Although I am not too familiar with the Cel 2.0, I would think that a Cel OC'ed to 2.4 wouldn't perform nearly as well as a P4 2.4.

I heard overclocking the 2GHZ Celeron to 2.5 is easy with the stock hsf. This would not be for me. On price grabber I found a 2GHZ Celeron for 89bucks with shipping and a 2GHZ P4 for 165 after shipping. both were on google gear and they are retail boxs. Need to save $$ and the PC would be mainly used for web browsing.
