I'm looking at this board
http://www.tekram.com/hot_products.asp?Product=P5VP3-B3am  myself but
can't say I recommend in the sense that I've never used it. So far the
research I've done pleases me, all that's left it's buy and try. It
supports up to 83MHz bus, and the AMD K6-266 and 300.

I've been running an 83MHz bus with 60ns EDO for over a year now with no
problems.

I first saw jumper settings for the K6-266 and 300 on the FIC 2007 in
February. It said it had not been tested but it's now July so I think
that if it didn't work they would have said so by now.
