Yes gimme some Soyo stuff to get excited about, I have had my Soyo P41 fire dragon for almost a year now, it will only do 115 fsb stable:( It would be nice to see some Soyo boards that o/c well cause mine sure doesnt. But I can say this I have the best score at Madonion for any system running at 115 fsb :D

haha tcsenter.. that's a damn good deal. At that price I have to admit I'm a wee scared about its quality (also I dont know that brand), but it could be a fine board for all I know. Well I guess it doesnt matter because I didnt see your post until after I ordered my ECS L4S8A2 from mwave.com (2 day shipping for $13.. not bad) total came to $89.
Biostar is fine, they've been in business making motherboards since like 1987. They are not known for stellar performance or overclocking options like Asus, just reliable and stable boards. But then that sounds a lot like ECS, too. Good luck!
