You can check it out at futuremark forum
www.futuremark.com/community

It has all da features (SATA - Raid, LAN, Firewire, Soundstorm etc ) and it's the best board for overclocking....
It's going for around $220.

Take my word for it, it's da best board you can get ; )
Or if you want, Asus A7N8x is also a good board, but I personally would go for the abit.

btw, I ve been hearing good things about the new DFI Infinity2 as well....
These's nothing wrong with MSI boards, but if you want the BEST ....the boards I mentioned are da !@#$s, and since its reasonably cheap, I suggest you get one of the ones I mentioned.

Hope this helps! : )

205746 2004-01-12 08:03:00 I think I will stick to MSI.

Looking at that K7N2 Delta-L, its about $170, but I am just worried about what it says on the MSI website.

www.msi.com.tw

"NOTE: nForce2 only NOT support x4 memory device. 1GB can be made by other density of dram chip such as x 8, x16."

We have 1gb made out of 2x 512mb, and as I dont understand any of that density stuff, would you say I can, or can't have it?

Thanks

That's what PCSale are advertising some others are a bit dearer.
It supports ram up to DDR 400 and FSB to 800. So if you want too you can go to an Athlon XP 3200 at some future date.
