I'll start off saying sorry if this question is asked a lot, but I didn't see anything about it when browsing the forum.
Ok, I'm building an AM2 system. I know that Conroe is the big thing right now, but I'm guessing availability will be a pain and a high end mobo / low end cpu setup for AMD is about $100 cheaper. And the upgrade path of AM2 looks like it's good for about 2 years so not having to upgrade my board makes me happy.
So any suggestion for AM2 overclocking boards? I'm going to get a 590 chipset version, I know that much. So that leaves me with waiting for a DFI board to come out, which I hear rumors of being soon, get an ASUS M2N32-SLI or get an ABit AN9 32X or Fatal1ty AN9 32X.
Any suggestion on what board to get? I really need to upgrade as I have an old 2600+ Barton with a mobo that makes screeching sounds when doing certain things so caps or vrm's or both are going, voltage waffles some too >< But the board's been doing this for a while and I can wait another month to get a DFI if that'll be the best pick of em all.
