Ok guys, here the deal, I ordered an X800GTO2 and it should be here within a short period of time. Basically what I'm asking you guys is to recommend a good mobo for o/cing(PCI Express obviously). Right now I have a A64 3200 Winchester. Cheap ram shouldnt be an issue because I have 2x512 Muskin L2 3200 if you would recommend the DFI boards unless you are aware of any. However, from what I understand the Epox are great in their own rights. Although maybe not as good at overclocking.
Also, along the lines of SLI, at this point in time it obviously wouldnt be that necessary, but do those boards come with better chipsets? I mean, assume I get the DFI board with SLI, would it be better than the one with a single pci express slot(yes i know you can mod the one with 2 pci express into sli) In conclusion, ;
I think I've narrowed it down to Epox and DFI. Epox has made quality boards in the past having owned one myself, but DFI intrigued me ever since the last rig I built for a friend. Thanks for the input.

DFI Ultra-D if you have the money.

Ultra-D and SLI-D/DR should OC about the same with the SLI maybe having a slight edge

Too bad the RS480 Crossfire boards aren't out yet, they are supposed to OC like mad (according to AT) . . .
