Eva_Unit_0 Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 I've heard a lot of mediocre things about the asus A64 mobos...you might want to consider going with another brand. The MSI, Albatron, and Abit boards have all seemed to be good from what I've seen. I'm actually selling my Albatron K8X800 Pro II, in case you want to get a great board for a low price.

Shadowfactor Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 only asus is making the 939 boards so far.. Well so i've heard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 and how much is your estimated cost? I want a 939 system also...but i also need to get a new videocard as well, so that's another $300-600 for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 no, the asus board's are not the only ones. DFI is coming next week, and MSI is supposed to be shipping theirs this weekend. with past experience stay away from the asus boards... they've been total crap on the 64 bit end with the exception fo the SK series boards that were only okay.

airman Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 i'm a big fan for the asus socket 478 mobos, but from what i've heard: the 64bit versions SUXOR!!! the only thing i would change on my motherboard: FRIGGIN VCORE DROOP! prolly going to do that this weekend if i can find some time/GUIDE.

BloodySunday Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 My friend has a SK8V SE Delux and it seems to run pretty good with his 3200+. Wait till New Egg or someone gets them and read customer reviews. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(like how there were multiple versions of nforce2). Are nforce3's still crap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) sunday: how does he have a socket 754 chip on a socket 940 board? I think you mean KV8 which I also own... CRAP is a nice way to talk about that board. clay: the NF3 150 was weak, the NF3 150 pro (for athlon fx/opteron) wasn't much better but with the unlocked multiplier it worked out just fine. I have yet to really go all out messing with the NF3 250 just because I don't feel like wasting the time/money/effort on a 754 version of it right now. I'm waiting for a socket 939 board from someone BESIDES asus (yes the P4p/c boards were good, but the last few generations of amd based boards have had LOTS of problems). DFI will most likely stick to just an Nforce3 250 version of the boards for now. they only jumped on socket 754 with one very poor showing of a board. But I doubt they'll stay away from via all together and build them for the OEM market and use the NF3's for the enthusiast market. btw they had some mention of considering new colors like blue and yellow with the new lanparty boards (I hope that was more than a way of seeing how the public would take it) in thier latest news letter to preferred vendors Edited June 10, 2004 by bigred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 I don't know how you manage to fight with the Asus nForce(2)/VIA boards because I have built systems with the A7N8X Deluxe 1.04, A7N8X-X 2.0 and A7V8X-X and I havn't had a complaint. The "X" series boards were used in my famlies PC's. The N8X-X has been rock solid for over a year and my step-father likes his V8X-X.
