I'm getting a Prescott 3.4 GHz in the 775 socket because of the retail edge program. I want to get a decent motherboard to overclock it with, but I want to keep my DDR RAM and X800 XT PE.
I was thinking about the Abit AS8, any other suggestions? I've been very happy with my current AI7.
 
the DFI lanparty 875P-T , best board out there for LGA775 and AGP/DDR1. basically the old 875p chipset board with the new socket.
 
That Abit AS8 that you're considering is essentially the AI7 with a new CPU socket. A few features may have been changed or tweaked in order for a classic i865PE-chipset-based mobo to work with the new socket design.

And, as I've found out, nearly all of the LGA775/AGP mobos which have full AGP support use the Intel i865PE chipset or a non-Intel chipset. The few i915-based mobos with an AGP slot cut corners by running that AGP slot off of a PCI slot, thus crippling the capabilities of the AGP slot on such mobos.
 
I don't mind having an 865 or 875 board. Is there a good reason to pay an extra $60 for the DFI board over the Abit? Does it overclock that much higher?
 
The DFI 875-T is the best overclocking board for s775. Great performance. And it is simply beautiful.
