Yeah, I was looking at the X2 3800 procs myself, since they came out with the beta bios. However as of yesterday that want has been put on hold for a bit as I ordered an AGP Sapphire X800XT-PE for $229.00 at ZZF. I was going to post about it here but they sold out real quickly on them.
I am just about ready for the venice, but still trying to decide on the correct board, I really want to have the option to overclock this thing, with the possibility of upgrading to a dually later, so i am doing some research so please hold on to the venice for me... thanks

As things stand currently the EPoX 9NDA3+ has X2 Dual Core support with the 08/10/2005 Beta BIOS. The MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum has X2 support with the v1.9 BIOS and the DFI NF3 Ultra-D supports the X2 with the Default BIOS.
I only ask because several revisions of the 760MPX had a flaw in the USB controller in the chipset that prevented the onboard USB from working. The K7D Master-L shipped with USB 2.0 cards since an entire run of boards had faulty USB, including mine . Nearly all MPX boards of that era either lacked USB ports, came with USB cards, or both. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any way to find out just by looking at the board whether or not it has a good chipset or not.
I thought the early boards with the chipsets shipped without USB ports at all. And that the later boards with USB ports had the corrected chipset, but that even then they shipped with the USB 2.0 cards because of the v1.1 chipset limitation.
In any event I never used them as I bought a USB 2.0 card with the internal pinouts so I could use my case's front mounted USB ports
