which 266 FSB Althon is good OCer?
I was looking for a Duron (czu its cheap!), but then after buying a heatsink it will be almost the same price of a Althon anyways. The MB i want to buy only support 266FSB (and it support my old SD RAM~), so I wonder which Althon TBred is betetr overclocker

It's irrelevant really - any athlon 'board that supports sdram isnt going to overclock well at all. Regardless, you ones you want to look for are the 1700+ and 1800+ dlt3c juihb t/bred's. there is also the jiuxb stepping to look for.

Some 3rd gen. Durons are just cache-locked T-breds (IIRC, with some modding you can unlock the extra cache)...
the 1700+ Tbred-B is still the king.. (We still have them here, Planning to get one) You could also go extra, some 2400+ can hit 3200+... Warning, if you're using a KT133 and/or variants (because you said your board has SDRam) you're limited to the original Athlons (Thunderbird core) and 1st-2nd gen.(Duron?/Morgan core) Durons... And take it from me: these chips are HARD to OC (my 700 cant hit 1ghz  )....

You'd be best off doing what james.miller said, and grab a XP1700 or 1800 with the Thoroughbred core. I have a XP2000 with the Palomino core and it wont oc worth anything.
