Hey guys, I got some money for christmas and Im looking to upgrade my rig.

Im currently running a MSI k8n Neo2 with a 165 opty. Im running at 333x9 with 2gigs of ram at 249 2.5,3,2,7 1t(partiot 2g3200llk with be-6 IC's). I want to try to make the jump to pci express again and im thinking about getting a 8800gts or x1900xt 512mb.

What board would be best to get, I want to be able to keep my ram and cpu where its clocked at but be able to take advantage of the pci express too.

Are there any board that are guarenteed to hit those clocks again or should I just keep what I got and maybe get the x1950pro agp?

My main choices right now are the DFI NF4 Expert and the CFX3200. Newegg has the experts in stock right now and the CFX's are harder to find.

Does the cfx3200 hit 330+?

Thanks I decided on the x1900xt 512mb version since its cheap with lots of power and 512mbs and the cfx3200. Got both off newegg for $384 with 2 day shipping. Both were open box but I dont mind considering how much I actually saved.
