I highly recommend the ASUS A7N8X-Deluxe, don't worry it costs top dollar, but has all the bells and whistles, and performance to boot.

An nForce2 board with a matched set of 512MB XMS3500 CL2 Ram. Oh Yeah Baby! Throw in a 2800+, some DangerDen Cooling, Arh Arh Arh. Do you need me to spend any more money?

Check out the Chaintec nForce2 board. You may find it interesting. Otherwise, stick with Asus.

For some reason when I look at the chaintec board all I can think is BLING BLING, The master p of mobos.

Here it is.

The Chaintec is sweet, but you will pay a $40 to $50 premium for it. It doesn't have enough technological advances to convince me to pay it. It is tempting, but I lean towards the Asus board. I am still looking for a good nForce2 board with good ATA raid.

the only chipset currently to support dual ddr is the nforce2 chipset (dual ddr 400 (200 mhz fsb x2)). the asus a7n8x deluxe and the abit nf7 boards are the best boards out there imho

The mobo I just got is an MSI KT4 Ultra FISR, and I love it! It has even more extra features than the Asus, though you should be aware it has some limitations when it comes to RAM that you use, check MSI's website for info about it (www.msi.com.tw).

I new you were talking about a duelly board, these guys are NForce2 happy

No, there are no Duelly boards that I am aware of that run the 333 / 400 chipsets.

But of these require a FSB, (The base frequency of the mobo), to be 166mhz.

All the Duelly boards I know of run a 133mhz FSB.
