    Advice On A Motherboard?

    I would wait personally... a whole batch of new boards on new chipsets are coming. Even if you don't want the new chipset it will push the current price down. If your in a hurry I would pick up a cheap ecs sis board to hold you over to better prices.

    If everyone is done, I would take a FREE motherboard at the drop of hat. Why not? Unless you have to give up your current board, you could just swap back if it sucks otherwise you have a new toy!!!! I would love to have an NForce board thrown at me! For the love of god take the board and...
