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...
