Tips on a new Mobo needed

Ok, time for a new Mobo but I don't have a clue what to choose!
I want a board with Agp8x, nforce2 and Dual-Channel DDR.
Now, there are a few choices and if anyone can recommend one of them it would be appreciated, can be based on something you've heard about the board or if u have one yourself.
Here they are, and note the price coz I don't have a lot of cash (every dollar counts), so if teh cheaper ones are as good as the expensive, tell me:

Asus A7N8X Deluxe 183 USD
Asus A7N8X 151 USD
Soltek SL-75FRN-L 132 USD
Epox 8RDA+ 151 USD
ABIT NF7 150 USD
Shuttle MN31N 139 USD

ta :)

    Asus A7N8X Deluxe is the greatest board around.

    I'm going to be picking up an A7N8X Delux, but $183 is WAY WAY WAY overpriced. Especially since i believe MSRP on it is only $159

    Asus A7N-8x Deluxe Socket A ATX Motherboard
    333MHz NVIDIA® nForce2 Chipset w/1394 I-EEE, Sound, Lan on board $127

    Or you can get the Leadtek version of the nForce2 board (which actually benchmarks the fastest out of all) for $85 at Newegg. :)

    Newegg doesn't ship internationally and honestly, I'd be more comfortable buying a board from the local comp store.
    The A7N8X DLX really seems like a good choice now, too bad it's so darn expensive, was only hoping someone would recommend the Soltek or the Epox :p
    Anyone know how much i can o/c a Thoroughbred XP2400+? :D
    (And can I have another title than [B]Earthforce[/B] officer? Nothing more fancy, just change to suit my Vorlonic needs? :vorlon: )
