If your looking to upgrade, i suggest the new ABIT AT7 max2 board... you can get one for either amd, or intel chips.
I have nothing but pure and insaine performance from this board.. it was my first time using a ABIT board, and i can tell you i will never use anything else. ASUS isnt what they were today.. their boards are lacking big time.. either ABIT or Gigabyte are the tops boards.
Oh and btw, make sure you use that Raid ! night and day differance. Plus may i add, that they are the first to offer S-ATA
