<< Which has the best OC ability? >>
Asus P4B266 (845-D) is tied with Abit TH7II (850). Personally, I would rather take TH7II because it is more future proof than P4B266. TH7II will actually with PC1066 RDRAM be able to benefit from the 533fsb Northwood's. Plus, with current DDR and RDRAM pricing, they're virtually the same in cost, so the difference isn't huge but at the same price why not? And, if you can live with not as good overclocking as P4B266, then Asus P4T-E is just as future proof as TH7II, and is cheaper the only catch is that it doesn't quite overclock as well as P4B266 and TH7II but it can oc none the less. Strawberrymom, I think there is one board that rivals the 8IRXP. and that is the Soyo P4S Dragon Ultra. Not many have it because everyone's going P4B266, but I'd bet it's a solid board, and just as feature packed as 8IRXP.

He's talking P4 not Athlon. >>
No offense but, how can this be comming out of an AMD guy?
