Definately an improvement over the nForce 3 150.

Can't change the multiplier on that board...too bad. Would've been nice for a killer DTR setup. 
I'm anxious for the new VIA agp/pci locked KT800PRO. Hopefully ABIT will make another OC stunner like they did with the KV8-MAX3. Need those locks!

Sorry to ask this (Ive been meaning for a while), but of what importance is an agp/pci lock? I dont understand what factor they play in an OC. thanks.

If you don't have the agp/pci lock then you can't control how high it goes. Get too high and it causes hdd corruption.

Does my board have such a thing? Or should I even worry about it? My OC is nothing out of this world.

Ethernet (LAN). It is a high speed wired connection between computers on a network or for connecting to a DSL or Cable modem.

No because cable and dsl rarely top 2-3Mbps, so you're not going to limit yourself by not having a GB nic.

Well...No.
The connection would only be as fast as is weakest point. Say your cable modem was 2 Mbits/sec then that's what you'd get 2 MBits/sec.
IMO Gigabyte Ethernet is great for networks. Networks running that speed.

That's not the KT800PRO chipset...it's just Abit naming it PRO. Check on http://www.via.com.tw/en/Products/prodindex.jsp under "Chipsets" and you'll see there's no 'PRO' version currently manufactured...When it is finally released, it shall have agp/pci locks. Or at least that's the rumor.Busty St. Clair said:

Not the right chipset there like mentioned... The actual k8t800pro has also been found by otheres to have it, namely Inquirer and Xbit labs, while ABIT marketing according to Gautum has said that there are no PCI/AGP locks. So keep your eyes open on all the sources.
AGP/PCI lock controls the PCI bus speed and the AGP bus speed and lets you keep it at a certain frequency, regardless of the front side bus speed. This makes overclocking easier, because you don't have to worry about PCI dividers and the limiting factors are just the CPU and RAM.
