Just a couple ideas, in case you didn't already have enough decisions to make.
The U8568 Pro is allegedly made by BIOSTAR, but I can't find any mention of it on Biostar's Taiwan or USA website. Even under a different model name, there are no VIA P4 chipset boards listed by Biostar. Maybe its one of those boards Biostar isn't 'supposed' to be advertising because of the VIA P4 infringement lawsuit thing?
Looks like a killer board for $54.00, though, but not if they won't support it.
