looking for good performance motherboard for AMD XP1600

[shohoku81]

I need help on choosing motherboard..
I looked up reviews and found out that soltek SL 75DRV5 outperforms all the other motherboards.
I am not looking to overclock much..
Is this good board for me?
It's 87 at newegg

I'm almost set on getting the same processor or maybe the 1700 and have been looking around also for a 'best buy'. Seen lots of recommendations for the Asus A7V333

Soltek + 1600= 87+80=167

MSI KT3+1700=78+89=167

The second rig is faster for the same money. Just a suggestion.

The sweet spot is the 1800 @ 99, imho.

I have RMA'D 2 Soltek motherboards in the past 2 months.
The first one had a problem in the PCI bus mastering
the second one just totally died.
I have allways used Asus M/B's in the past and now I know why.
