Is the 50.00 smackers worth the few differences? The boards in question are the MSI K8N NEO4-F and K8N NEO4 Platinum.
I will not be overclocking , running raid or more than 2 SATA hard drives.

nForce4 vs nForce4 Ultra

I doubt the faster SATA interface will make that much of a difference to you. The only other difference would be that the nForce4 Ultra has a hardware-accelerated firewall, whereas the plain nForce4 depends more on the CPU for its firewall. How much of a difference that would make would depend on how heavily you tax the network interface.
