Alot of people, like myself, are moving away from the BX chipset and moving on to the i815E chipset. The Asus CUSL2 motherboard has been gaining fame as a superior overclocker with almost the same performance as the BX. The CUSL2 supports AGP 4x as well as processors with a front side bus of 133MHz. If you already have a video card as well as a sound card, then get the CUSL2-C. Buying the CUSL2-C will save you about $30-40.

It seems the BX133 RAID is pretty well liked on a couple of forums I read. I just acquired the VP6 dual cpu board, and it wouldn't be bad with a single processor- it has all the goodies- ATA100 and RAID, plus the option to drop a 2nd cpu in later.

Don't buy an Asus P3V4X--like I did--unless you get an ICS clock chip.

The new mobo rev is pretty much a "nuetered" with its Winbond "16-less-fsb-settings" clock... :)
