Notes

The K8NS Pro goes up against the ASUS K8N-E Deluxe and an older K8T800-based ASUS K8V. A now mid-range Model 3200+ (the old Clawhammer 1MB version, a CPU that many a likely first-generation Socket 754 upgrader is likely to possess) is the CPU to help us out, with all boards getting the benefit of Corsair's excellent XMS3200 and an ATI Radeon 9800 XT, from ASUS.
