Yea the Epox seems the be the best bang for your buck right now. It hsa the 250gb chipset.

If you don't want/need teh giga-ethernet and hardware firewall, you can save $12 or so by getting the chaintech which uses the 250 chip.

Agreed, Epox or chaintech each with NF3 250 Chipset are probabbly the best options in terms of performance / $. The Chaintech is sorta questionable though since it needs a beta bios to enable some key features. I would take the epox, if its back in stock on newegg. Also, the if you choose chaintech, its 81 shipped 2day delivery from MWave. They are as good as newegg fyi...

What if the $/performance didn't matter, would those still be the best boards? I am getting a 3400+ and still haven't found anyone agree on one board. though, I am looking at the MSI K8N Neo Plat, how is that?
