I've always had problems with Epox boards. I've heard nothing but good about the chaintech. Asus has always been good to me. If you are gonna be overclocking, make sure and get one with the nforce3-250 gb chipset, as it has agp/pci lock. For serious overclocking, go with the DFI lanparty UT nf3-250gb.

Which AMD 64 3000+/3200+?

Socket 754 or Socket 939?

ahh that is a good point..

since there are now skt 939 3000+/3200+ you ahve to ask which socket

but i'm pretty sure he means 754...

i agree with the above people... epox 8kda3j or chaintech...

but for hardcore stuff (and lil more money) the dfi is a great choice

for skt 939... hmm...

the msi board or the asus boards seem to be the best

Those 2 are fine but not the 'best board' as kalex2 was asking.
The Epox does not have RAID I think and the Chaintech is a budget board with a still broken cool-and-quiet functionality.

Better boards would be the Asus 8KN variants, Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR. The new DFI Lanparty got rave reviews. All boards discussed are for socket 754

the Epox does have RAID.

drivers for the SATA RAID are right here

I just picked up that epox board on newegg 10mins ago with a 3000+ for the rents. We are ready for 64bit I guess you could say. Anyone own it? I am looking for a more in depth view into it other than babble at the newegg reviews.
