The competition is between the Aopen AX4SPE-N and the Albatron Px865PE PRO. I like the Albatron b/c of the price and the Prescott support. Whereas the Aopen b/c of the 6 PCI slots, I have many cards.
I got the two 512MB PC3000 sticks Kingston HyperX. I also have the P4 2.6C chip, with the SKL900U.
Please take the poll and give your reasonings.
Please keep in mind that I would like to overclock at least a little over 3Ghz.
Thanks.

I will go for AOpen.
Good quality, and great price. In fact, Mwave and Newegg is running $15 rebate right now !!

Go with the albatron. It comes with a 3 year warranty, and I just got an rma'd board delivered in less than 2 weeks. This was a refurb board from newegg. Not bad.

I think Aopen always been a better quality company. But it's too late b/c I got a good deal on the Abit IS7. Thanks guys.

I like AOpen products, but connecting to their download page for BIOS & Drivers is sometimes a major pain! :|
