markiemrboo Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 I'd say forget the via chipset and get an nForce3 board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 both crap. just remember to think DFI or MSI for your athlon 64. get the Nforce 4 chipset. and you'll be all set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfox Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 i'll fourth that. foxconn are the worst (next to pc chips...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 i'll fourth that. foxconn are the worst (next to pc chips...) 472658[/snapback] hmmmmm.... PC chips owned by hseng tech. Abit owned by hseng tech. you do the math there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I rekon they both suck lol. I agree with bigred that when it comes to an A64 setup MSI and DFI are the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNothing Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 ill "x"th that, go with DFI or MSI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 hmmmmm.... PC chips owned by hseng tech. Abit owned by hseng tech. you do the math there 472709[/snapback] but at the same time Aiwa are owned by sony... ....but is aiwa better? nope. PC Chips are called that for a reason. Otherwise, why not call them Abit? simple. they are inferior quality. just like aiwa is inferior to sony (well aiwa were owned by them last time i checked) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Cadillac Escelade EXT vs Chevy Avalanche... yeah you pay more for a name and a few more creature comforts... but underneath they're the same pile of crap designed by the same engineer, built by the same drunk UAW slobs... same thing applies with Abit, Soyo, ECS, PcChips, Matsonic, Alton, Amptron, and the other Hseng Tech name plates. and having varying degrees of crap gives them the ability to sell to more people... those who want an expensive piece of crap and those who want a cheap piece of crap.

Silverfox Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 my point exactly - however, using aiwa/sony want the best, lol vw sharan/ford galaxy...pretty much the same vehicle (european) as it was a joint development...but only slightly different. foxconn are dodgy. pc chips are just plain rank. for like, $10 more, you can usually get a good quality Gigabyte imo...
