Okay....

The ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Motherboard.

It's socket 939, has a ULi chipset, and supports both AGP 8x and PCI-E 16x.

Price: $72.

Review. 2nd Bios Release: Overclocking Options Added.

260x9 is a nice overclock. Prolly more then I'd ever OC.

Now, why am I rambling about this?

What should I do.

Sell my Proccy & Mobo, and get a 3000+ Venice & the ASRock mobo? Or stick with this Newcastle.

 

[NickS]

I read the manual online, it has standard features like FSB adjustments, multi adjustments, voltage adjustments, etc...so it's not like its sparse in that category.

EDIT: Whoa, a helluva overclocker too!

[ionicle_old]

[FarFarAway]

Stick with the Newcastle, save up and buy Venice + Good mobo + PCI-E card.

That way your sorted for all of it.

 

[NickS]

maybe u dont want our advice then

trust me save for something good. (by good i mean better than asus)

 

[NickS]

Dude, look. It OC's great, performs great, has FUTURE SUPPORT FOR SOCKET M2, has PCI-E and AGP 8x so I can keep my current card. It's my dream board!! Harmonic's also looking into one.

There is NOTHING wrong with it.

You guys can laugh all you want, but I know I'll have a pwnage board.

 

[ionicle_old]

that looks pritty good, but it wont beat my DFI SLI-DR.....wait......*looks at pic's* - *faints* ....wow.....*gets back up* - *looks at pic's agen jsut to make sure*.....*faints agen*

 

[NickS]

[ionicle_old]

No review site is going to take the time to properly setup a DFI NF4 board

 

[NickS]

Im getting an MSI K8N Neo4 Plat. (now)

 

[Eguy]

thats not bad nick, heard good things about the Neo4 Plat

 

[NickS]

Thnx Eguy . I was lookin at the ASUS SLi, but Bourne said it didn't OC to well. :S

 

[Eguy]

yep, not known for its OC (except the premium)

 

[|3ourne]

the thing is , Asus SLI has a problem running 1T ram timings at anything higher than about 240 mhz . Which makes it an unattractive buy for the overclockers. However , if you dont overclock , that is definitely one of the best and most complete boards you can buy.
