Thanks for such a quick respons gkay09...Looks like a great board, bit better than the ECS I got now lol. Great price too. Kinda shopping around right now, so any other suggestions would be great. Thanks again gkay09 ;)

If you choose to go with the Foxconn board you should seriously look at the new Athlon X2 7750+ its basicly a dual core Phenom and with the 750SB you would be able to use ACC and get it over 3Ghz. Plus since it is based on the Phenom it gives you the 2mb L3 Cache which the 6000+ lacks and only will cost you $2 more.
