Anybody ever use this board?

Biostar NF4UL-A9

I'm looking to build a new X2 based system and was thinking about using this mobo. Reason being is that I want to keep using my 9800Pro AGP vid card for the time being.

Does anyone have any experience with this board? I'm looking for stability above all else, and then speed (not to say that it should be a dog either...)

Or, can anyone recommend another S939, NF4 Ultra based mobo with an AGP slot?

/edit here are the specs of the board in case anyone is wondering:

For your information, nForce 4 is PCI-E, and nForce 3 is AGP.

Yes, which is why this board is so unique. It is an NF4 Ultra board with an AGP slot as well as a PCI-E x16 Slot!
