It won't be hard--1333 is only 333MHz bus speed--most boards will do that without breaking a sweat. A Gigabyte DS3L would work well. Mine's based off the same board, and does 400+ with ease, so you shouldn't have a problem.

What price range were you thinking...?

I need a board that supports 533FSB or a board that supports P4 524 3.06GHz Prescott 1M L2

I'm confused...533 is only a FSB setting of 133MHz in the BIOS--yes, it will support that just fine. They'll go all the way up to and beyond 1333 as well.

For P4 support, DS3L revision 1 boards need bios newer than F1 (not hard as most are F6 or higher). Revision 2 boards need bios newer than F2 (also most are F6 or higher when sold).

It should be fairly trivial OC'ing your P4 on the DS3L.

I am confused as well. Any board that is a good OCer and supports that CPU will be good. Rated FSB is out the window when you overclock. I don't know of any mobo that can hit 400+ and not also be able to run 133.
