Have had my system now for the last 4 weeks. Its been working fine but for some reason I am getting this terrible White Artifacts whenever I raise my FSB. This only happens in OpenGL games and my video card is perfectly fine. I have tried no overclock, different voltages for GPU and CPU. The apg/pci is fixed at 66/33 but will no run good at all. Also I don't know what is causing it now but I am getting some complete distorted screen lock ups. I could spend more time reformatting and trying new drivers once they come out but I have a chance to get a new board with less headache. All I need is the basic board that overclocks and runs stable. Now I bought PC4000 Kingston HyperX memory, and running a 120WD SE 8mb and 9700pro , 3ghz P4c. I want rock solid performance that I can overclock without all these issues. What do you recommend?

What about all those little bugs though. As of right now I am reformatting the Abit system and will reload everything. If I still have issues I will be looking for something else. What does suckith though is the hole pattern on the ASUS and newer Abit boards have changed so I don't think my ThermalrightSP94 and Swiftech MCX159 will fit since the CPU heatsink will be angled down and will not give clearance for the Chipset fan I bought.
