I would have gone with a KT880 board but have read it not only offers
slower performance than nF2 but runs hotter too. I have had nothing
but grief ever since I upgraded to DDR. I've tried 3 nF2 mobo's and
the Gigabyte was the only one to run, but it died of bios corruption.
The Asus board (which I thought would work for sure) only POST'd once
and then died. The Aopen board won't post at all. Is nF3-250 any
better? Or does this mean a lifetime of SIS and VIA boards? I've been
building PC's now for almost 5 years, so WTF??!!

It's enough to make you run to Intel (but only Northwood, if you can
find 'em).
