I am searching for a motherboard, micro-atx, that will allow me to overclocking a Celeron D 352.

I would highly prefer that it supports DDR2 533.
I don't know what else really to say, other than I hope it is low cost ^_^'?

If you plan on doing what I think you wana do, the boards cost like 100$-150$. XD

And what do you think I am planning XD?
And why would it cost that much? [in relation to your thought]

XD Planning on "blast"ing through any overclock records?
I got a cheaper asus motherboard for 50 and overclocked my friends e2180 to 3.5 Ghz maybe. So possibly the cheaper LGA 775 motherboards on newegg would do.

Not thinking anything overly crazy. I have read online of people hitting 5ghz+ on the chip. I am really only shooting for 4.5 range. This is for my friends computer.

I finally got his case finished [7 gallons of mineral oil, custom build case, radiator and pump] and we were hoping to overclock so he can enjoy games a little more haha.

Right now he can play Crysis at low settings because of his processor presumably bottlenecking, not that I am expecting stellar performance from his 4670 or anything.

He has Fallout 3, Crysis, Bad Company 2, and a few others he is wanting to play. I'm hoping overclocking his cpu will help him out a little bit in the frame rate area.

Right now he is using an OEM motherboard, the rc410-m alhena. I would love to use ClockGen or SetFSB on it, so we don't have to mess with the computer again, but I can't find the clockgenerator for his board.

I even looked for a modded bios, but no luck.

Heat will not likely be an issue. The CPU at stock speeds never got above 86*F on intelburn. [air it would hit 117].

Anyways, this totally reminded me to put some pics up in a thread!!!

A good mATX 775 OC board...good luck finding one dude.
DFI's Lanparty Jr is VERY hard to find (and by far the best) and maybe second Gigabyte EG45M-UD2H - which I haven't see around either for quite some time.

I found the board you are referring to. It is $145.
