Default Need a good mobo to overclock my 4200+
Since I don't have the money to go out and buy myself a brand new system, I may try to oc my current processor instead. I have a AMD Athalon 64 x2 4200+ and my current mobo is a really cheap micro atx one, so I'm looking for a decent mobo that will be good for ocing the processor. Any good guides would be a great help too.

when I had my 3700+ (not x2, just 64) I remember that the Asus A8R-MVP Deluxe had some good possibilities, however since yours is an X2 I am sure there are newer boards. Might be worth looking into nonetheless.

If you can find one Biostar TForce 550. Legendary OCing on the cheap. NCIX has the TF 570SLI board which is pretty much the same but SLI.

Lots of Biostar/AMD OCing here.

So I think I've figured out what I want, but I'm not sure if it's worth spending a bit extra and getting a good board thats am2+ compatable.

I'm looking at a ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe for $180

or a ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe for $230

The m3a32 has some nicer features and supports ddr2-1066 with memory coolers which is pretty cool, but will AM2+ be worth it down the road, or should I save my money?
