which of the two boards is a better choice for a p4 2gig processor? i'm thinking the intel board since it has more features for less the cost, but i thought i would ask for some opinions. below are the specs if you wish to look them over. thanks!

...the Asus board has their award winning softBios to make it an easy & natural OCer from hell.

Yes, I got the Asus board when it forst came out, I easily OC my p1.6a to 2.133. It's great! Now if I can only get the settings correct for 2.4Ghz... Anyways, back to my plight!

BTW, the Radeon 8500 64Mb is seemingly a slow card for this system as it doesn't push many frames. Morrowind, NWN, and basically any game with higher detail settingsdoesn't get very good framerates. (which I actually expected going from a P3-800 to a P4-2.133Ghz) Alas, it may be time to save up for a 128Mb card in the Geforce area.
