i need ideas on which mobo to use with with a 1.8 PIV. Also, which would be a better choice...DDR or RDRam? i want to go with RDRAM because of the faster FSB. Am I making a good choice? Thanks guys!

Is that a 1.8A that you're talking about? If so, do you plan on OC'ing? Because running at spec that will be a 400MHz FSB, so it makes a difference as to what the best board is.

At the 1.8 level, DDR and RDRAM are about equal, but come upgrade time, you'll want RDRAM. It's a tough call - rumor has it that Intel is suring on RDRAM.

Nobody does Intel chipsets like Asus.

The cheaper C model is easier to configure, but memory must be installed in pairs.

There are many good DDR boards too. Check the latest one out:

That is one awesome board! I would look at it seriously. It's likely hard to find yet - it's new.
