Got my hands on an OEM Celeron 450 and I just want to try overclocking the hell out of it. Alas, I don't have any available motherboards that I can use. Can you guys recommend a really inexpensive motherboard for this little project? Hoping for something in the $50 range? How much are used P35-DS3L's going for on eBay anyway? Is the P45 chipset any better than P35?
Thanks!
Edit:
I found the Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L open box on Newegg for $67.88. Is that a good choice?
