I found this board for $53 free shipping newegg and it supports the 400Mhz NForce 2 chipset. does anyone have any experience with this board? It doesnt really say either way about bios multipliers/FSB/Voltage control, although the .pdf manual has a default/user config jumper that im assuming may unlock all of these? I want to overclockability, so if anyone has anyother insight id be glad to hear about it!

    Biostar is not known for its overclocking features

    Newegg has the Shuttle AN35N400 nforce2 mobo for only $57. I have recently built 3 systems with this mobo and it seems to be a solid budget nforce2 board.

    does it have voltage adjustments? I know the Shuttle MN31N has only fsb adjustment but no multi or vcore adjustment.

    yes, voltage is adjustable in the bios. I believe up to 1.85v

    so the shuttle has Multiplier/FSB/Voltage in the bios, all on the $60 board?

    yep. multiplier, fsb, and voltage control in the bios.

    review/comparison link:

    Taken from review:
    "As shown in the test, the performance of the AN35N lies at the upper end of the range in most of the benchmarks; the system behaved perfectly, and all the important functions for overclocking the processor are available. This makes the Shuttle board a good choice, despite the spartan level of equipment."

    I would read thru the shuttle section at amdforums to check out common problems and look for hardware compatibility issues. I always do that before placing the order.
