thats the one I found for now, I have a few questions.
1) is Gigabyte good?
2) whats the advantage of dual Bios?
3)Should I look at another motherbaord because, this one has a defect that it only lets 1 stick of ram run at 400Mhz the other stick has to run slower.

1) not really
2) incase u fry one trying to overclock the chip or just break it
3) thats a major problem and negates any future-proofing plans you may haveI would go for a better brand really. And certainly one that has working components on it …

Lanparty (DFI) for performance, ABIT for stability, MSI for features, ASUS for a mix of stability and features(but questionable value).
Dual BIOS' are only really for the hardcore gamer who overclocks his chip and wants a bit of security in knowing he has a backup should he kill the bios or have to reset it for whatever reason. No real 'advantage' to the average user really.
yeah I was looking at the DFI one too looks good.
Also if it says 8x agp can u most likey lower it to 4x agp?
so that one^^^ will be a great mobo for the amd 64?

I wouldn't say Gigabyte boards are the end-all-be-all performance monster, but if you just need a board that works, Gigabyte will be great.
I want a perfromance motherbaord for my AMD 64 3400+ but I dont want to go over 130
I think the DFi LAN Party mobo is fine.
I'm not personally much of a 'fan' of DFI motherboards. I think their quality control procedures and general build quality are much lower than that of a manufacturer such as Gigabyte.
