Asus A7V

Is this any good, I am planning on getting a 950MHz Thunderbird in about a month. Will anymore manufactures sell this like Abit or someone.

Where I live in the UK, I think it will be very hard to get a slot Thunderbird so it looks like it will have to be a socket, this benefical in one way as the KT133 officially supports it.

Is the Asus a good choice, I would prefer 6 PCI slots, but I will put the modem in the other and use ICS I think:

PCI #1 - Sound Card
PCI #2 - Network Card
PCI #3 - SCSI Card
PCI #4 - HW+
PCI #5 - WinTV
PCI #6 - Modem

Is there any compatibilty problems with a GeForce DDR?

I need a heatsink, and this is another hard thing to get in the UK. I was advised by the supplier where I buy all my equipment and they recommended this:

http://www.coolermaster.com/products/cpucooler/socket/dp5-5g11.html

It states up to Duron 850, will this be enough on a 950 or 1000 T-Bird, if you can use Socket 370's heatsink which that is under, can you use a FC-PGA heatsink because they sell them up to 1.2 GHz
