Got a 9800Pro which will be being replaced so onboard isnt an issue, board being replaced is an AV8-3rd eye...
Close, ended up going for the AN8-V...
Good Choice
Dude
Tough if it wasnt tbh, seeing as I ordered it a few hours back lol...
The only thing I'll miss is the 3rd eye uGuru clock thing on my desk lol
The Asus A8N-E Deluxe is by far my favorite non-SLI board. Have not tested the Abit. The MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum I tested sucked. I'm waiting for the RMA so I can do more testing. Let us know how the AN8 works our?
Well I've never had any trouble with an Abit board so cant imagine any trouble, it is the cheapest of the boards but for now it'll do me, only seems to be missing firewire and the OTES stuff neither of which bother me tbh....
tis a good board

The only s939 board I have used is the DFI NF4 Ultra-D and love it (although going down to a shuttle )
I have heard good things however about the nForce4 ABIT boards I do like ABIT boards as they have done me grand in the past
.: Predator :.
- Shuttle SN25P - A64 3700+ San Diego @ 2.7GHz - 1GB PQI Ultra DDR - X850XT - Asus DVD-ROM - 200GB Maxtor + 2*80GB SATAII -
I've got 2 of the boards and they are really good.
It is Inevitable.....
If the uGuru works that would be ace, ohnly reallt use it for the case temps, cpu temps and the time...
Ikonia, does it have the uGuru header on the board?
which is the better board out of the abit and dfi?
Well I've had bad luck with Abit historically, but I have not used the S939 Abit boards. I've heard good things about them mostly. Seems like I have not heard much in the way of negative feedback about them so they are probably good. I think they cleaned up their act after their S754 board was such a mess. You got to love a company that has the balls to call a motherboard "Fatal1ty"! Sorta like calling a hard drive "Datakiller 9000" or something.
