I am looking to get a new board for a 2.8C chip which will last me through the many changes of next year. it has to have Serial ATA (RAID would be a plus but not nessasary ) gigabit LAN, 8x AGP, audio, firewire and usb2.0, it also has to be a good overclocker because i am hoping to get this chip running at 3.2+, and also the PCB cannot be beige/green in colour, it needs to be coloured ( like gigabyte boards which are blue ) since i have a window in my case.
The board should be midranged.
somewhere under $200 Canadian
Something i was looking at is the Abit IS7-G but would like other opinions aswell plz.
I will be getting the board sometime after the intel chip price drop ( Oct 26th ) and i will also be getting new memory at that time aswell.
So any suggestions would be appriciated.. thanks!

PS. what about getting an AMD board with an Athlon 64 instead? it will be more expencive.. but if i upgrade this big, then i wont have to upgrade for a longer time. ??
