I recently did a build with a Abit KN8 Ultra, nice board and it easily got a 146 up to 2.5GHz... the HTT can apparently hit above 300 too.

there isnt any point to sata2 unless youre in some kind of server situation, dont be put off a good bargain because of lack of it

If you only need one sata 2 port, then the ASrock dual sata2

I've got a kn8 Ultra as well nice board (i've no need for SLi) but i did remove the north bridge fan and replace it with a zalman HS.

I've got a KN8-SLI, which ships with passive chipset cooling (actually why I bought it in preference to the Ultra), and so far it's been very good. I have it running with an Opteron 170 at 2.5GHz (only a 500MHz OC, but I don't feel like pushing it) and it's quite happy.

If you want agp and pci-e then the ASROCK DUAL-SATA2.

I'm using it and its rock stable, even with my 3500+ running at 4000+ speed with a slight undervolt

That's what he's currently running...

yeah its dead it will not play games just crashes, amongst other things. Think the south bridge or north bridge is dead it

I've read good stuff about the Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI. Last time I looked (about a week ago) Scan had it for around £65.

Well if you're sure it's the motherboard

I went for the Abit KN8Ultra for £60 from scan and now all my problems have gone yay. Games now do not crash and the usb works. any one want a dead asrock board? hehe

Thanks for all the input.
