I recommend the NF7-S board, it is top notch, great features good warranty, abit support, well tested.
Rather than getting the xp3200+ it would be cheaper to get the xp-m 2500+ and set the numbers to 200 fsb with 11 or better multiplier. Set vcore on the NF7-S to 1.7 volts (it undervolts otherwise)
 
xp-m? whats does the m mean?

Or if you were planning on spending the money on a 3200+, you could go 64bit and get a 2800+ or 3000+ for not much more.

Be aware there's an addition to NF7-S line. It called the NF7-S2G and it's not as good as the regular NF7-S version 2. It lacks the ability to change cpu multipliers for one, which is particularly undesirable if you get the mobile chip.
