THe right T-BIRD MOBO: SHUTTLE AK31

[human2k]

iM tired of this wait for the Kt266A. Just read the benchmarks of the Shuttle Ak31 at tomshardware, seems to be faster than the refference AMD 760 mobo. Lots of great review about the ak31 can be found all over, but what really caught my attention is the 6pci/4dimm/lan+sound configuration, just wut I need for my tight budget. Plus it cost less than $90 on the net. Any happy Ak31 users out there?
