I'm in the market for a new board. Is the IT7 worth the extra $50? I would like to use my LPT port for my old printer, so I'm leaning towards the BH7. The problem I'm hearing is that teh BH7 is 4x AGP. I have a R8500 now, so it's not going to help me now, but for when I upgrade later I want to have the video bandwidth. Are the dual channel RAM boards better overclockers? I'm more looking for overclockability, not memory bandwidth or anything. I really don't want to buy another 512mb stick.

I think the IT7 really does worth every single penny. It is da bomb for overclocking..well, all abit motherboards are awesome for ocing. Dual Channel RAM really improves your bandwidth. And for future you would need 8X AGP but right and for another year or so AGP 8X is a fluff. But after a year AGP 8X will really take off.

The IT7 has 4x AGP. I don't know much about the BH7, but the IT7 is "loaded" with usb, firewire, and other good stuff. No printer though, but I'm sure thats because most people use USB. I think they sell LPT cards, but they cost more than they're worth.

if I recall right, abit lost their cap manufacturer and substituted with Rubycon caps, which are sub-standard. This resulted in leaking capacitors and the problems associated with it.
