A7N8X from Asus, you cant go wrong. Just make sure its rev 2.0 board. I just upgraded from the Gigabyte 7vrxp, and believe me, the Asus board is nice. I can finally unlock my processor by dropping the multiplier and cranking up the fsb to 333 all in bios without any problem. Before I had to connect two pins on the socket to do this. If you don't want to upgrade anytime soon. Go for the AT 9800 pro. Having a more updated vid card will be great for games that come out now and in the future and then you wont have to upgrade. Like Mayhem said though, anything with TI4200 and above will work fine. The only difference I have noticed with this new card is right when I enter the game I don't go through that 1 second pause but thats in Spearhead. Graphics still look the same, of course my TI4200 was a little overclocked. A good source also is Pricewatch and for reviews Toms Hardware
