would it be worth the swop to any of them 3 above

I've never even heard of a BIO STAR T4 SLI motherboard.

Those are all good motherboards you've linked to.

I recommand the ASUS A8N-SLI/PREMIUM . I had this motherboard for 6 month now, never had a problem with it and that is with a overclocked CPU ( Optron 144 from 1.8 to 2.7).

The only bad thing I can think of is that you need to mark sure the memory that you brought is compatible with it .

[baby_ice]

would OCZ gold ram work with it? ive got a 1 ig stick

[HyeongSeong]

I am not sure . it is best to download the manual from the asus website . There is a page that list all the memory supported in the manual

It's probably a Tforce rather than T4.
The Tforce are Biostar's enthusiast line & generally seem to have a good rep. although I don't recall seeing much feedback on their ATX 939 boards.

I would at least try it seeing as you have it.

so can lots of other boards if you have the equipment & skills - quite possibly incl. the 1 that you already have.

do you think rather than changeing this then, i'd be better changeing from a 6600 GT to something better?

I've been using the A8N SLi-Premium for a couple of weeks now with an Opteron 148 (2.2GHz) OC'ed and stable at 3.0GHz completely problem free. Great board

If you haven't already got the 6600GT & have the cash to spend then a 7600GT would be an improvement or beyond that a 7900GT.

[baby_ice]

i already have a 6600GT, but don't mind selling and adding cash for something new,

( i always want better ) - just stupid and wast money. but if it makes my system better, i'll do it,

[baby_ice]

does this motherboard have on board graphics card.

According to the technical specs tab on the info... no.

[baby_ice]

Do any of the top end ASUS boards have on board graphics, im dumb and don't know anything about pc stuff, i just buy it

[BUFF]

No top end boards have onboard gfx .
