another vote for asus p4p800 deluxe, it has PAT technology developed by asus (but named somethin' else due to intel didn't like asus claiming it as PAT), and tests have proven the board to be just as fast as it's newer brother (p4c800dlx) .. but p4c800-e deluxe can overclock a bit further tho ...
either way, both boards are good and will last you a long time

Exactly! I was planning on getting a P4P800, because I don't want a 2.6C sitting around and collecting dust when my SL6Z3 comes in. Now that I read about the AI7, it's got the same chipset as the P4P800, about the same price and OC friendlier

damn you!
Not adding,, replacing the ancient legendary 7 WU/Day Epox 8KHA+ with a 16 WU/Day P4
Eventually I'll gather enough parts to bring the 8kha+ back to life tho hehehehe
I want 18 GHz by the end of the year.
I've been considering the AI7 also. I want to boot with raided dual raptors but this board only comes with one sata cable. I'm irked that I would need to buy an additional cable. Makes me want to get the IC7-G instead (Max3 is only $15 more than IC7-G but it's missing a parallel port!). The only thing holding me back is that the AI7 has uguru and a later realtek audio chip.

Yeah, when I talk myself into getting the AI7, I'll have to buy an extra cable . Then I'll have to talk myself into a pair of mushkin level 2 blacks.
It would help if reviewers used mushkin to test systems. People are saying it's the best, but everyone's testing with corsair. weird.
