Sock 939 mobo

they have this as a combo and monarch and they happened to have pretty cheap 3200+'s as well, not to mention a free copy of farcry, HL2 and CS:S, and free napster (all of which, well, except napster, i was going to get after buying a new comp

)

anyways, i was wondering if this is a decent mobo to use (there's no other cheap mobos that's sock 939 and has pci-e other than this on monarch)

i'm planning to use the MSI 6600gt pci-e video card, an ATA-133 HD (maybe ata-100 if i can't find the ata-133)

btw, i will not be overclocking the cpu, i will only OC the video card a little bit to push for few more fps just for the **** of it (so that i can finally say that i have overclocked something)

here's a review i found:

http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_cont...gbnf44x&page=1

it said that it runs at 4x (800mhz) compared to the regular nforce4's at 5x (1000mhz)

the cpu i will be using is a amd64 3200+ winchester and it's bus speed is 2000mhz (FSB), which i think (might?) be reduced by the mobo?
