Hey Eagle,
I have just built up a boxed a64 3200+, 1Gb ocz 3700Eb with a Chaintech vnf3-250. Normally, I stick with "top" brands like Asus or Abit. I am very peased I have taken the "chance" with the Chaintech. This board is very inexpensive ($77 from zipzoomfly), but is not *cheap* -- still uses a 3 phase power regulator. The only thing it is "lacking" is Gbit ethernet...something I do not need at home.
Right now I am running 250x8, x4 Hypertransport, totally stable. I am very pleased I bought this board versus waiting for the Asus, MSI, etc.
Read this article here, the vnf3-250 is really impressive...
socket 754 round-up
Cheers,
DJM
