Pentium 4, what motherboard is best?

Dredd
Since it is seemingly becoming cheaper to buy P4's than high end P3's I am now in the market for a P4 motherboard. I don't see many out there and don't know much about them. I assume they are using Intel's 850 chipset and what advantages does it have? So any feedback would be much appreciated!.

I'm running Build 2465 of XP Pro, and I've looked everywhere (I think) for someone who's had a similar problem. . . . Here's the thing. . . I'm trying to use Remote Desktop, which, as a Win2K server user, I'm pretty familiar with (different name, some program, basically).

ATI makes beta XP drivers

ThC 129
I just saw on the front page ATI has made specific XP drivers not 2000 drivers, do you guys think other compaines will start following this trend or will they wait until the OS hits RCs if not RTM stage before making drivers??
