Horrible horrible motherboard (and socket 754, not 939, the Neo2 is 939 and just as bad), I had at least 3 cap's that started squealing after a few weeks on 2 different ones, dumped the last one in the wheelie bin and bought a DFI Lanparty.

Ditto that regarding msi build quality as i said before, barge poles apply.
Also nforce 4 is a no go since its pci-e only and i presume from the fact that he wants an agp8x mobo that he's got a rather expensive agp card that he doesnt want to replace now with the much better amr enabled cards around the corner.

No, I've only got a 9800 Pro.
I'm going to wait for the Multi-Rendering chipset, that's what I was on about in my last post but I didn't make it very clear.
