If it were me, I'd keep the Nforce2 board.

If you look around the net at reviews and comparisons between the Nforce2 and the KT400 based boards, it seems that most ppl think the Nforce2 is a bit better performer.

My own experience with the Nforce2 has also been very positive.

does it matter that my vid card is a Ati radeon 9500 pro ? nforce2 is made by NVIDIA right ? hehe just making sure
