Most reliable chipset for socket 370 CPUs

What would you say are the most relaible chipsets for socket 370 CPUs? I'm looking to configure the system as a Linux server for routing? I have seen socket 370 motherboards with VIA and Intel chipsets? Out of VIA and Intel chipsets for socket 370 motherboards, which chipset brand would you find to be more reliable for the most part? Are Intel's own socket 370 motherboards more reliable than any other brands for Intel CPUs? I have heard that they can be, but are less flexible with other hardware? Also, would most Socket 370 motherboards allow me ot have a great deal of flexibility for underclocking and overclocking the memory bus and CPU external clock? For instance would I be able to underclock a 100MHz FSB Celeron CPU to 90MHz, and not just have the only choices of 100MHz or 66MHz for the FSB? I want to underclock the CPU so I can run it with a fanless heatsink and the only option is to underclock the CPU front side bus because Intel locks the multiplier on all their CPUs.

Suggestions greatly appreciated.
 
I would personally say the i815e chipset

Asus CUSL2 Mobo was fast and reliable, i had a coppermin 600 and then a coppermine 933 in there for over 2 years...

Thats what I would reccomend

...yep. I still have two CUSL2's in 'the family' and they do their stuff, reliably, without much attention on my part. Solid stuff, to be sure.

I've used a few mobos based on BX chipset and I had no stability problems.. I had some hardware combatibility probles tho (ram, vid card..) so I guess the best choice is i815e..
 
i have an 810e chipset mobo with a cumine 800 in it, and its passively cooled... its at 133fsb too... so i wouldnt worry about that

another vote for intel chipset

i just hope the 1.266 tually that i got for free will work with it... too lazy to check it right now though... lol
