The Asus SK8V will allow you to change multiplier, but with a vapo, you should really wait for the NForce 3 250 boards which will have AGP/PCI locks so you can get all that extra bandwith.

Yes wait for the Nforce 250 board out in a month or so. There starting to appear but nothing outstanding in terms of overclockability. Will be some beast the FX 53 overclocked you should reach about 2.8 ghz with it.

if you have to buy now there is some nforce3 150 and possible the via chipsets for the socket 754 platform that have working pci slots. check out the reviews on www.anandtech.com
