Smitty, instead of the HOT-565 consider the HOT-569.  It has all the
features of the 565 with the added feature of auto detect of the CPU and
its voltage.  According to the reviews I've read it's also more friendly
to overclocking.

I've been running the 569 for about a month now and it's been rock
steady.  I've seen it as low as $109.
