I tend to stay away from any board using the KT600 chipset. It doesn't perform as well as the nForce2, isn't nearly as overclockable and still utilizes single channel memory architecture.

The KT600 chipset isn't as speedy as the nForce2 Ultra 400, agreed. However, for users only using single-channel memory to begin with, its not much slower at all, and can be cheaper (*much* cheaper when factoring in the cost of decent dual-channel memory). If you're not a hardcore enthusiast looking for the best possible speed, there's nothing wrong with a KT600 board. Tom's did a comparison between the KT600 and the nForce2 400 (not Ultra version, which is a fair bit quicker) awhile ago, link follows:
