Yeah the Nforce2 look good. I hope I am gonna like the 8k5a3+. I know it cant possibly be worse that this board..geez..it sucks bigtime. Anyway, using the refresh rate forcer, i got my framerates in MOHAA and Rune running smooth as silk. But those 3 tests in 3dmark are still really choppy...but I think 3dmark may just be screwed...anyway I am alittle less worried now...will wait and see what the final outcome is after I get the new system together with a fresh install.

Thanks for the comments guys...I really do appreciate it.
