Great info. Thanks all for the input. Now I have a dilema. I generally try and by a board that has some room to grow, but wonder if I should spend the $45 now to move to PCIe and then wait to see what shakes out with AM2 / DD2.
As suggested by previous poster I have done my homework and found a couple of boards.

Has anyone had any experience...
I am looking to make the move to PCIe video and a geforce 7600GT. Need a good overclocking MoBo for my AMD 64 3000 (winchester) currently runs at 2.2 gig, normal voltage on am ABIT AV8 (i think, at work right now). Want a good NF4 board to see how far I can push this chip and move to PCIe. I...
I upped the Vcore to 1.825 and set the system to 166*15 but the ram speed to 200 bus. And it boots fine. If I try and set the system to say 10 * 200, wham nothing happens. I actually have to pull the battery to the cmos to get the thing to reset.
Any ideas why I can run at 2490 with a 166...

Thank you, I hadn't even thought of that but it makes perfect sense.
STIFFY:"what voltage are you running at?"
cpu is 1.75v, chipset, ram, agp are all set to auto.
I am running an mobile barton 2600+ on a DFI Inf Ultra. The rig is watercooled and MBM say temps are around 96 deg. F. at idle and 113 deg. F at load. the case temps are right around 68 deg. F which is what digital thermostat says. The cards plugged into the mobo are Radeon 9800 pro AIW and SB...
