[JoeFaheyx]

I am building a new computer, it will have an athlon 64 3000 processor, a 9800 pro sapphire 128mb vid card, and i am looknig at this board....MSI nForce3 250 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Athlon 64 Socket 754 CPU, Model "K8N Neo Platinum".......will it do the job?

Yes that card will do the job for you, but if you want you can refer to

this article and see for yourself.

Its an OK board. I personally don't like MSI products.

That Anandtech article is very good.

Recently HardOCP overclocked A64 3000+ on Abit KV8Pro and they said that same BIOS will be available on their website real soon. Even though the Abit board was a poor overclocker in Anand's review, I have little doubt with the new BIOS Abit will become teh cream of the crop as can be seen Here. Otherwise the Chaintech board ~$100 seems like an awesome deal.
