My motherboard Gigabyte NF2 SKT-A has gone funny, that's all i can say. Used to overclock my 2500barton to run at 2400MHz (was prime stable @51degrees load), now for some reason if you move anything at all from stock it just hangs. Tried different bios's but doesn't seem to matter. I think i might have done some damage somewhere.

I have an X850XT AGP and want to get my moneys worth out of it hopefully for the rest of the year, so what I was thinking was,
Opty 144
Abit UL8 ULi M1689
Arctic Freezer 64
£165+delivery.

I've not heard much about the board, and was tempted to get the Asrock Dual board instead but that would mean sourcing elsewhere.

I intend to build a whole new machine next year when DX10 cards come out, planning to lay past around £1k between now and then for a conroe based machine with 2GB DDR800 and maybe running Vista. So whatever i spend now comes out of the budget for my big build next year hence the budget parts planned to use.
Oh i have a gig of OCZ Platinum ram that will do me for now.

If anyone's used or heard about the Abit board let me know, cheers.
