I stand by my abit. uGuru is exceptional for both overclocking and monitoring. i always buy either EPoX, Abit, or MSI because they are almost the same. All no nonsense boards with great OC ability and rock solid. Abit always have both fancey and sans crap boards available, i buy the latter. their bells and whistles rubbish is now the F4T4L1TY range of boards. just for fun, go to their website and click in the fatality link to see a speech from fatality himself (well really its marketing rubbish he signed not his words) and a picture of fatality giving his scary look. *intimidating*
fatality is a 5 foot 7, 80 pound stick insect with a crooked frown. And hes meant to look like one bad, bad dude. bad enough to get mugged by an easter bunny :\.
fatality boards aside, their regular range dont have all the extra rubbish on them and generally perform exceptionally. Back in the nforce 2 era, it was a choice of two boards. The 8RDA series, or the NF7 series. All else was sub-par. As to which one? flip a coin.

If you want the extra fancey garbage, get an ASUS
onboard 802.11G, :\ and the funny thing is they advertise the feature "enhanced roaming ability"
yea, i have a prescott board running a prescott cpu, that im "roaming" with.
thats a *wardriving* machine if i ever sawed one.
