Recommendations for Motherboard Update, Please?

[BuddhaECU]

I am one of those slow upgraders, and it is about time to upgrade my motherboard. Right now I am using a Celeron 466, which will be replaced, eventually, by an Intel flip chip.

I have heard and read good things about the Abit's BE6-II 2.0, Asus' CUSL2, and MSI's MS-6163 BX Master. I am definitely going to overclock, but speed and stability are definitely high on the list of desirables. I am wanting to buy a BX chipset board, due to the on-board sound and graphics of the other chipsets. I've also heard rumors that Intel is coming out with a new chipset, which is basically a newer version of the i815 without the on-board sound/graphics.

So, what are your recommendations on possibilities for a purchase for a board that will support Celeron 370's or flip chips? (I assume a slot one board?)

Thanks

Get a CUSL2. You won't regret it. It's a great board, great overclocker and extremely stable. It also uses Intel's latest chipset (i815).
It is however not a slot 1 board, but slot one is dissapearing anyway. Intel has already announced that after this year they will stop producing slot1 CPU 's altogether. (and that's only two months from now)
You do can get a CUSL2 without the on board sound (I have one)

Do NOT get a BE6II. I've fiddled around with it before I got the CUSL2, and it's a piece of cr*p compared to it. Really, where abit gets it's good name is beyond me.

The BXmaster is a good board, but it's based on the (now more than 2 years old) BX chipset (as is the BE6II). Since you say you are a slow upgrader to begin with, I don't think it would be a very wise choise to get such a motherboard.

Just my $0.02
