Hard to tell
I just finished my new pc: ASUS A8N-E / AMD 4200 x2.
Smooth install, flashing to newest BIOS via Windows was new for me, but worked fine.
Only thing i did not like, was the noise from the chipset fan, so no i just replaced it with a fanless Zalman heatsink.
Noise is gone, and temp is as it was.
(i don't intend to overclock much, maybe a little later)
I am not going to install Scope-cards on this pc, was not intended to, but i plan to install noah - then ----who knows!
2 * 12cm fans, one in front - 1240 rpm and the rear is a 900-1700 rpm fan at lowest speed.
And fanless graphic card ASUS N6600GT Silencer.

Those motherboards are both PCI-E, not AGP. Getting an nForce4-based board is pretty much "use at your own risk." If you really want to go with PCI-E, you might be better off getting the absolute latest Intel solution.
The only proven AMD route at the moment is an nForce3-based system WITHOUT dualcore. It seems that Intel's multiprocessing and PCI-E solutions work better than AMD at the moment.

Sorry for butting in like this but I thought that the K8N nforce 3 mainboard would work with the dual core processors.

Does it make a difference with Creamware to remove SP2 from XP?

in my experience, sp2 is no problem.
