Well, more so 3. Here are the ones that have caught my eye with relative price ranges:

Gigabyte GA-7VRXP $100
Chaintech 7VJL $115
SOYO KT333 DRAGON Ultra - Platinum $160

THG did a nice review on the KT333 chipsets however, for the Chaintech they only had a beta version of the board and for the Soyo it was only the Dragon Ultra, not the Platinum. I've really scoured the web trying to find comparisons on the Chaintech and the Soyo Platinum. I was hoping for an updated review, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. Does anyone have either of these boards or could share some information on them? I'm more interested in the performance of the boards rather than features as the reviews I've found are not consistent with each other. I'm trying to figure out which one to buy and I'm really torn. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

the chipset is what matters the most, the different boards dont make much of a difference to be concerned about, the difference in the boards is mostly features, a little speed but i doubt you would notice.

how do you shoot the devil in the back? what happens if you miss? -verbal
