"They use 2 seperate PCB's for the mobo

The first part has the JTAG, Memory, Power, Com port, servo controller

The second board is the analog and sensor board {Daughter Board} which has the gyros, accelerometers, etc. The two boards interface over an I2C bus also."

To answer your question, no you do not need any special parts.

Umm.... actually....

If you're talking PCB version 2.0, then it's like this:

PCB 2.0 uses the nForce2 Ultra 400 northbridge, which has support for the newer 400 MHz DDR FSB Athlon XP's (i.e. some 3000+'s and the 3200+.)

Other revisions only use the older A2 or A3 stepping nForce 2 SPP's, which may or may not do a 200 MHz FSB (400 MHz DDR). Most vendors are picking up the Version 2.0 boards, and checking the specs listed by the vendor should help you figure out which one you're looking at. Basically, if it's not 2.0, you're not getting a board that officially supports the 400 MHz DDR FSB. This means if you're planning on getting a 3200+ and the board isn't a 2.0 board, it might not run the processor at it's rated speed. Otherwise, they use the all the same components.
