Opty 165 mobo?

Currently I have an AMD 64 3200+ running on an Asus K8V SE Deluxe mobo. After asking around, I think I've settled on an Opty 165 as my CPU upgrade, but I still need to decide on a mobo. I intend to buy an 1900XT, so I guess I don't need a mobo with SLI, right? The only other consideration is this: I'm planning on using an SATA drive as my master/boot drive, and an IDE drive as my slave/data drive. So I just need a mobo that won't have a problem with that, and is also relatively easy and stable for overclocking the Opty 165. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
 
overclocking? DFI. I stick by them, and a lot of others do too. otherwise, ASUS are about as stable as it gets, and can overclock pretty well. and mid- high end board from those 2 will do you fine. most mobos still come with IDE supports, up to 4 devices often. but why an IDE HDD?

anyways, DFI Ultra-D is a good choice, and not gonna blow the budget. if you want real high end - DFI make a crossfire board that looks pretty good.
 
Cool, thanks for the feedback. Anyone else wanna chime in with specific models? Just looking for a consensus. Thanks.
