Nvidia chipset concerns

I'm just starting to look into amd cpu based options, so I really don't know much about these different variations, amd chipsets vs via chipsets etc.

Is it really a smart move to buy a high end overclocking board made with this chipset? It seems to be geared toward the all in one cheap oem market. What will make it better than a top of the line kt133a mobo?

Hey Randy,

KT133a was just a interim type chipset untill the DDR chipsets came out, I got on to see if I was gonna like AMD without the need for new memory and it turned out to be a real performer, from all that I've been reading this Nforce is going to be the way to go, but if I needed a DDR board right now I would probably get an AMD chipset (761) board since they have been around the longest, check this article out:
