Help me pick a board

I'm looking for a Mainboard for a Socket 754 chip with EIDE and SATA, and can use Dual Channel DDR. I don't have a PCI-E card, just an AGP. I'd prefer an Nforce chipset, but if someone mentions better, I might go with it. I've got my eye on the GIGABYTE "GA-K8NS PRO". Seen some good and some bad things around the forums about this board.

Anyone have some suggestions? Price range $100-$200

Thanks
 
I just built a gaming machine, I tested a few boards and went with Asus K8V SE, I am very satisfied with the 754 AMD 64 2800+ makes a good gaming machine.
 
Uhm... 754 chips don't use dual channel. That's what the extra 185 pins on the 939s are for (remember, the memory controller is on the CPU). Don't fret, because in exchange for DC you get 200 extra MHz, and the DC didn't amount to much performance increase anyway because the memory controller is so efficient.

The DFI Lanparty NF3 250Gb is probably the best S754 motherboard, and it retails for $110.
