Gigabyte GA-K8N PRO-SLI

[mlegower]

Anybody have this board? What's the verdict on it? Newegg has it for under $100 now, so I was just wondering if anybody had any experiences with it and new if it was a board to avoid.

I almost bought this board. I like Gigabyte and use a GA-K8NSC-939 in my Son's pc. Something about the graphics cards having to hang over the big nvidia chipset heatsink bugged me though, so passed.

As far as overclockability I haven't done any major overclocking. I have a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ venice clocked to 2.4 gig very stable. I am sure you could get more out of it if you want to mess with the memory timimgs and voltages. I myself am happy with a 2.0 gig processor running @ 2.4. Overall I don't think you can go wrong with this board and its features at this price.
