Neoseeker take a look at the Gigabyte K8NNXP Athlon 64 board



Unlike the Athlon FX version and the nForce2, the Socket 754 Athlon 64s are single-channel only, which means you don't have to worry about buying matching sticks (obviously the performance takes a bit of a hit, but that can't be helped and according to benchmarks elsewhere on the net, the hit is quite small). There is about an inch of room between the DIMM clips (half an inch when opened) and our GeForce FX 5900 Ultra (which is very long and blocks the DIMM clips of many other motherboards). This obviously eases installation as it does not require you to remove the AGP card before installing or removing your memory. It is nice to see manufacturers taking note of layout problems in previous iterations of motherboards and taking steps necessary to correct them instead of just glossing over something like this.
