Yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about the A7N8X, won lots of awards and all. Kinda pricey though, a little more than I wanted to spend. My last board was an Asus, and I know they make some of the best boards out there. Maybe it's slight compatibility problems between the KT400 chipset and the Barton processor core or something (although my board was just bad, wouldn't post with *any* processor). I'd just rather go with a board that I KNOW is 110% compatible with my proc (I saw a review for the processor and it was tested with the MSI K7N2 board, ran perfectly), plus it's only like $90.

I don't know much about the Soltek board, but the MSI board, I think, is pretty good for overclocking.
