Bala, im thinking of getting the Asus P4PE....its about $125 and has a nice onboard sound card and nic. Its the first all intel chipset to support pc2700 (officially) and will also support the current/future HyperThreading processors (DROOLS). to bad the only HT proc out is 3.0 ghz and Ungodly expensive. i'm prolly going for the 2.4b, i think thats the sweet spot right now price vs performance.
I would love to find an Engineering sample 2.4 because the multipliers are unlocked

A friend of mine hooked me up with it. Not at the websites yet, and pre-order at stores. But it will be out in about 2 weeks.
Worth the money and the wait, I stuffed mine with a 2.8Ghz P4 and 1 Gb of Corsair XMS 3200. Right now im running a five day burn in. then i'll get to playing around more with it, and post some benchy's.
