Need recommendations on an A64 mobo

[Inappropriate4AT]

I'm basically moving over to an A64 so I can change the voltage and cpu speeds on the fly. I wanna be able to undervolt and drop the clock speeds when running less intensive apps, then kick it back up for gaming etc. I plan on using RMClock for most of this.

What I'm looking for is the best bang for the buck motherboard. And what I want out of it is:
Has to be able to control fanspeed (via Speedfan or similar)
Has to support Cool n Quiet
Has to have an AGP/PCI lock
Full ATX

Things that would be nice:
Decent overclocker, I'll probly take a 2800+ no higher than 2.2ghz
Firewire, RAID, Support for XP-120 I heart my XP-120

Mainly interested in 754 boards, but I might go 939 for SATA2. Is it that much faster than IDE/SATA? Hard drives are the biggest bottle neck in a comp, IMO. I'm open to 939 boards with the same requirements and SATA2 support as well.

Moderate overclocking, full upgrade potential (dual core cpu's, pci-express graphics cards). Has Firewire, RAID, not sure if it supports your XP-120. However, the stock HSF on the Winchester (and should be the same for Venice) CPU's are great and will give you very good temps up to 2.4 or 2.5ghz. Decent overclocking, nothing great like the DFI but should hit 2.2-2.4ghz without trouble provided the CPU you buy can do it.

IDE < SATA1 < SATA2
SATA1 will provide higher bandwith than IDE, and SATA2 will provide higher bandwith than SATA2.

IDE HD = SATA1 HD = SATA2 HD
Here's where you run into problems. Due to current hard drive technology, a single HD will _NOT_ max out the theoretical bandwith of IDE at sustained rates. There is no way it will be able to saturate SATA1 or SATA2. There will be a slight jump in certain benchmarks using SATA1 and SATA2 but for the average user, they all perform exactly the same. At this point in time, having SATA2 support is merely a numbers game. It's good for future needs but for the next few years, it's doubtful anyone is going to make a desktop HD that will come close to saturating SATA1.
