Socket-F Board Recommendations

I've picked up a couple of cheap Socket-F opterons and fancy having a play about with them.

Can anyone recommend a decent Socket-F board? Do ANY of the Socket-F boards have any overclocking options?

i used to run a tyan tiger s2927 and it was rock solid board not sure about the overclocking options though. i had 2x 2220 se and they sat at 60 c idle so i did'nt want them any hotter

Thanks for the hints. I'll keep on browsing but it certainly looks like a Tyan may be on my shopping list...

Asus L1N64-SLI WS, you can apparently drop Opterons in it and it'll work fine with bog standard DDR2 RAM.

Oooo really? Do you have a link to said info, as the support pages mention nothing regarding Opteron support, so I'm guessing the chips drop in but are recognised as unknown.

Nevermind, found the details. Mmmm awfully tempting to try to track one down.
