I belive the Abit IC7 has been the one everyone has been raving about. I tried it and worked out ok for me.

Barton 2500+ @ 2200mhz (10x220 vcore @ 1.8)
Asus A7N8X Dlx 440 FSB
1gb Geil GD pc3500 Dual Channel (2-3-3-6)
Segata 80gb SATA 8.5ms seek
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro(420/720)

Hehe, which one?

Im assuming all three would be considered the same, just different features?

Get the Abit IS7. More features than their IC7, similar performance, better price.

This is one:

Each 3 uses the same chipset but this one really has the bells and whistles.

I think the newest IS7 is called a Max3 or something. The only thing that annoys me about my IS7 is the hell of loud northbridge fan. I had to put a rheostat on it to quiet it down.

Next upgrade, I'm going all water cooled--get rid of those damn fans.
