Something with PCI-E, dont want/need SLI....
ATi Xpress 200 chipset motherboard
You got the selection from Socket 754, 939 and 775
All comes with ATi RADEON X300 VGA onboard DX9 Core
Also comes with PCI Express 16X and 1X slots, of course PCI slots as well
Onboard 5.1 audio, LAN, FireWire, USB 2.0, 4 x SATA with Hardware RAID, 2 x IDE-133, 4 x Dual Channel DDR400 support....
What more you expect? ATX or MATX also available :)
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 :D
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 :)
You may find that your Guru clock still works on the AN8-V (don't know if -V still has uGuru chip or if that goes too to cut price)
& I suggest not touching BIOS15 ...
The only s939 board I have used is the DFI NF4 Ultra-D and love it (although going down to a shuttle :p)
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 :)
I've got 2 of the boards and they are really good.
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.
