I need one with PCI-e, and some good OC ability. Newegg's 3 options (Jetway, ECS, and Foxconn) are so-so, but I'd like to look around some more. Thanks for the help.

go with the foxconn (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813186066) it should be decent

I'm going with the BIOSTAR. It got good reviews at anandtech.

Asus A8N-VM CSM?
Have you seen that for sale somewhere? I desperately need 2.

My advise:

Wait for the Geforce 6100 and 6150 motherboards, they are way better then anything on the market today.

You can get the biostar TForce at newegg.

The asus should be king and ZZF has it listed but "out of stock", i'm tempted to order the biostar, but think i'll wait till the Asus shows up.

My supplier says it'll be around 2-3 weeks, so that's not to long.

I'm going for a X2 with a Geforce 6150 board, it has dual-DVI onboard.

The performance of those boards is excellent, the onboard GPU is Direct-X 9 compatible and able to play all current games at 800x600.

I work all day so a little bit of gaming in a window in the corner of my screen is just perfect.

I'm setting up an HTPC so I don't think I'll benefit from the 6200/6250 boards, the 6150 supports Azalia, S-video, HDTV etc... Looks peachy :)

Great.. so here we wait for that Asus one to come out.. Any ideas on what BIOS options it has?

6200 and 6250? Do you mean 6100 and 6150,or am I missing something? We're talking about C51, right?

Tinker,
I think you are correct.

Maybe they where getting them mixed up with onboard graphics.

The 6100 and the 6150 (A8N-VM and A8N-VM CSM) will be released here in Sweden on the 1st of November. I'm going for the CSM ;)

The asus A8N-VM CSM looks to be about $10 cheaper than the Foxconn board. Wierd.
