Both are designed with over-clockers in mind. ASUS also has good motherboards, but I have not used them. Ironically the 300A has better results as an overclocker if you want to get to a 100MHz FSB speed because you can't change the internal multiplier on Celerons and the 300A is only 4.5X. The 366A, at 5.5X clock multiplier, could never get to 100MHz FSB speed (it would have to run internally at 550MHz!).
