Coulda sworn that I saw some Asus boards with softmenu options.....would have to
check. I gotta say that the Abit BX6 that I have been using just totally rocks. That
was one of the best chipsets I have seen from Intel. Hey, if you guys have a market
for used boards and such, let me know so I can send whatever I have and sell it to you
guys for cheap. Thanks for the 411 and happy gaming.
