I'm getting a new Mobo and Recommendations please

[DragonmasterDerk]

I have an KG7-Raid, but i want to excel in the ram category with some 400 or 333. I want an awesome Athlon Mobo that can handle its own and mass more. I'm mainly looking for reliability, customer service, quality, and mass good options.. for overclocking and just an overall good buy... i've seen many i like but i want to see what you guys say

if you want a great board with everything the a7n8x is for you

but if you REALLY want customer service maybe you'll prefer the 8rda+ instead

i was looking at the mobo you told me about and i got a few questions about it....

Does this board also support DDR333 b/c i've seen some benchmarks saying 333 is faster for the moment?

Does the DELUXE version come with raid and firewire?

What processor will the mother board hold up to?

How much ram can the motherboard hold?

i know these sound dumb but i need to know these... thanks for the help

what does nforce mean exactly? b/c i always thought that meant it had an nvidia video card on board. Is there one on this and i'm just not seeing it?

 

[bgeh]

nforce is the name of the chipset manufactured by nvidia
the mobo that you are looking at does not have onboard video.
there'll be a version with video, but it hasn't been released yet.
