About LinkBacksCould someone please give me any reccomendations for a decent board for socket 939 NON SLI please. Any reviews I look at seem to be just SLi/Xfire.
Thanks

DFI ULTRA D
Abit A8N Ultra
another vote for the ultra-d here, although they arent the easiest to set up if you are a beginner...or just never used a dfi before
You owe it to yourself to click here really.Originally Posted by Blitzen
Abit AN8 Ultra if Scan have any left.
failing that another AN8/KN8 variant depending upon requirements/budget.
Nah they haven't got any in bless em.
Ok cheers people, that's the one I'll have when it's back in stock
*goes to scan forum to ask when it's back in stock!*
EDIT: Sorry sorry, I mean the Abit boad, Scan don't do DFI (only one anyway) boards for some odd reason.
Hmm.
Think i bought the last one! when i ordered it was in stock now out of stock
Altho my order has been delayed due to the WD harddrive i picked is now out of stock... typical.
Ahhh D'oh!
I want lots of stuff from scan and half of it is not in stock!
*waits for the day when it all is*
The AN8 Ultra has been discontinued by Abit, so you might struggle to get one now.
You could go for the KN8 Ultra. You could also go for an SLI board, and only use one of the slots (e.g. the Abit KN8-SLI costs the same as the AN8 Ultra did anyway).
Would this mobo be ok?

How about the ASUS ultra one, i was looking to get that too, is it any good?

It's a decent basic board.
Another couple of £ would get you either an AN8-V (uGuru, wider voltages) or a KN8 Ultra (SATA II & Active Armor secure networking engine - neither really make much difference) or another £10 would get you a KN8 SLI which adds Firewire & passive (silent) chipset cooling along with the SLI that you don't want.
Another alternative would be the Asus A8N-E as mentioned by nvening
Wow you know your Abit!It's a decent basic board.

Hmm, I like the idea of passive, KN8 SLI. That would be a good board to go for? That way if I ever felt the need I could whack in another card and be all shexy!
So this one, no?
Would it be a good board?

That's the one.
Good value, gives you pretty much all the features & pretty reasonable overclocker (300HTT plus).
Remember that any (Abit, Asus, DFI etc.) AMD K8/nF4 board needs a good PSU with as many Amps on the +12V rail as you can give it.
When you get it come visit the Abit forums

If i was going to get an nvidia card (for my mates new system) then i would probably get that, but im getting him a 1900xt and the xfire boards are not as good so im going with an ultra board, he would never buy a second card anyway.

I'll give it a whirl, thanks
Hiper Power 580w type R modular would be ok I assume?
