I saw a lot of good comments in the sis735 chipsets locally, notably
PCChips ML830. They raved it as cheap (HK$500 only) and usable though
lacked features for overclocking. Don't use exortic hardware with this
board, though. They even flash its BIOS with the better one from 2theMax
that made a similar board.

Again, I saw good reviews locally from the kids. They used i845d boards
to overclock P4-1.6GA to 2.2GHz, notably the 2theMax 4DBA.

I guess Mr. Lamer's shop has really a very strict, military-grade
definition for "good hardware". :)
