I never liked the A7M because you can only overclock via FSB increases

A7V is based on the VIA chipset and it's $199, and only one person seems to sell it on pricewatch. For the price i can get an Abit kg7, with AMD 761, 6 PCIs, and 4 DDR slots. (Some people think Abit boards are iffy though, so you may want to go with one of the other two i mentioned.)

Also, remember, nForce is just around the corner...
