Also, I was looking at all the MSI Nforce 2 mobos, and from the pictures, THEY DON"T HAVE ANY CPU SOCKET HOLES! What's wrong w/ them? All ASUS boards have 'em correct?
Thanks for any and all help.

I would take a look at amd.com and check their tech documents for the dimensions of the keep out space around the socket. I think 3-1/2 will be ok but double check anyways. I made my block 80mmX50mm and leaves just enough space. I have almost 1/4 inch of space between my barbs. That space will depend on your design though.
The MSI nforce boards don't have the mounting holes.
I always loved MSI boards but the missing feature will keep me from buying a nforce board from them again. As for the ASUS boards? I'm not sure.
