I got the 8RDA+...super solid board...easiest install I ever did (I was actually disappointed, no challenge!!!) The on board sound chip is DaBomb, and it has a nice fast Ethernet port too. I have not OC'd it yet as I just upgraded from a Duron, so I am very happy to leave it as is for now. As for the board layout, I thought at first I wouldn't like where the ATX power is (kind of in the middle), but it was really no problem. In fact, with round cables, the inside of case is really open and clean (good air flow!) I put a TBred B 2100+ on it and life is good. Lotsa room for a big HSF too.
