Any KT333, KT400 and Nforce2 board will do. Right now it looks like the Epox 8RGA+. I haven't used this board but from what I've heard it should be quite nice. I own the Epox 8K5A2 and it's very nice. Can run over 200fsb(400DDR) without problems, goes up to 2.2v vcore, 3.2v DDR (for extreme overclocking), has a slew of tweak options and is less than $90. It too will also support the 2800+. Best combo would probably be the Epox 8RGA+ (if the overclocking options are equal to or greater than the 8K5A2), AthlonXP 2400+ (2ghz w/ TBred-B core) and 512mb Corsair PC3200XMS CL2. Most expensive part of that will most likely be the ram. It'll do up to 220fsb/440DDR though.
