I'm in the process of putting together a new "uber system" well maybe not that "uber" but it'll do. Anyway I want to use an AMD 3200+ (best I can goto how I wish I could goto a 64fx) but I digress. After reading the article "Swansong for the XP Era: VIA KT880 Chipset Challenges nForce2" I liked the sound of the VIA KT880 Chipset but as yet I can't find any companies who are using it except for Asus. They have their ASUS K8 Family of boards out but these sound like they are only 64fx mobos.

Does anyone know of any companies using the VIA KT880 set that are any good? Or am I able to use something like the ASUS K8V SE Deluxe?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Not interested in ocing? For a real uber xp system you need an nforce board like the NF7-S and an xp-m chip. They will generally give 2.4 gigs or higher. I'd call that an xp3500 at least.
 
Ok maybe "uber" was the wrong term. I wannt to use the new VIA KT880 Chipset as it has a few more features than the NF7-S. Like I said I don't want to oc so there's no point in designing a system for ocing

If the Soltek based on that chipset perform as good as the one based on the nforce2, then tht may be a good choice.
