Have the prices dropped already?  I heard not long ago that XP barton prices were going to go up and AMD64 prices were going to come down.  Might be worth holdin off as I am not sure how much they are going to come down.

Hmm ok then, which one would you go for then,  from the Overclockers range?

due to excellent service from their products, I'm likely to choose an Asus board......
