i got a 1.8A and im looking for a cheap ATX DDR based mother board hopefully with SATA. and overclocking features are a MUST.

im looking as close to the $100CDN range i can get.
this is what i was looking at, it is about 140CDN.

I don't know anything about that one, but I have the P4C800-E Deluxe. It's the 875 chipset, big brother to the 865. But I've never heard of the 848.

My board is a decent overclocker. I just got a DDR Booster, and so far have only experimented a little. I've got my memory at 230MHz @ 2-2-2-5 timings, 3.3vdimm, 1.6vcore. That's with a P4 2.4C (so now it's at 2760MHz. But I should be able to get this RAM at least up to 250MHz at these timings and have 3.0GHz 1:1. I just haven't put the effort into getting it there yet.
