Now Ive ebayed my bought in error MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM and wishing to go with the Dual Channel Supporting Mobos,all views on a recomended mobo such as the MSI K8N NEO PLT 2 or its competitors will be greatly appreciated in helping me to chose. I intend to get into gaming and also like to burn a dvd whilst running other applications so all views appreciated. Thanks Guys and gals.
Will you be going AGP or PCI-E for your graphics?
ASUS A8V Deluxe rev.2 or the new DFI LanParty nF4 Ultra/SLI
MSI K8N neo 2 if you want a Nforce chip
ASUS mentiond above for VIA
As far as PCI-E I cant recomend any...
In my opinion the Nforce chipset is far supiror in design compared to the VIA... So, the MSI K8N NEO PLT 2 is the only option...Quote:

Havent really given the agp/pci-e much thought. For me though as pci-e is a bit off yet and agp will be here in force for quite a while yet I will probably go with agp. I will give all your preferences a good browsing and now have a good idea of what are the main contenders.
Thank you again for helping me out, it is really appreciated.
PCI-e a bit off? I don't think so m8! It's getting to be that there are more choices for PCI-e VCs than AGP at some retailers. It is true that utilization of PCI-e bandwidth will be some time off, but PCI-e's definitely here now "in force"!
