which is the best board out of these few

Foxconn SKT939 Nforce4-SLI chipset DDR400 Dual Gigabit LAN SATAII ATX Motherboard

Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi X16 (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard

Abit AN8 32X, NF4 SLI, S939, PCI-E (x16), DDR 400/266/333, SATA I / II, SATA RAID, ATX

i thought i was on to a winner when i found this boars on eclipse.co.uk but i turns out they cant get them any more

DFI NF4 Sli Infinity S939, PCI-E,SATA2,GBLan,1394,5.1Snd,ATX

if anyone has any more ideas please feel free to pass them on

thanks in advance

it is for an opteron 175 cpu thanx

either A8N32-SLi Deluxe or AN8 32X would be good choices.

Look harder for a DFI

If you've exausted every, EVERY option. The Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe.

 

[woppy101]

cant get one anywhere well sli anyway i have been looking for the last three weeks every one is trying to get rid of 939 boards and not buying any more in

so you think the Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe

any pros and cons on that board

 

[FragTek]

The Abit AN8 is a very solid contender, I'd take it over the Asus.

As others have stated, DFI is the way to go unquestionably if you can find one somewhere.

will it take an opteron 175 from the start or will i have to flash the bios

It will work right out of the box.

i have found a dfi crossfire board should i go for that. can i go for that with a nvidia card

will this board work ok with my 7900gs

DFI LanParty UT RDX200CF-DR Crossfire (Socket 939) Motherboard

Great CF board and will work flawlessly with your nV card. You just won't "officially" be able to run SLI if you decided to get another 7900GS.

 

[woppy101]

what do u mean officially will i be able to put another 7900 in

i didnt think you could do that with crossfire

IIRC you can use hacked forceware drivers that will allow you to run SLI on non nVidia chipsets including the ATI chipset.

 

[ai_01]

if DFI CF is an option for u id get it.

 

[woppy101]

would that be a better board than the nvida chipset on the asus board by the way thanks for your help fellas

and would my opteron drop in to it without the bios flash

 

[FragTek]

All of those boards will be fine right out of the box.

If you want to go with an nV chipset I'm going to stick behind my recommendation of the Abit AN8.

 

[woppy101]

all ppl have been saying is dfi all the way can i ask is there any better about the abit an8

 

[BUFF]

abit AN8 32X

the DFI RDX200 is not a good board.

 

[FarFarAway]

DFI RDX200 is not a good board.

Indeed it is awful

The abit is a nice board, ut I'd still try to get a DFI SLI-D/Ultra-D or Expert

 

[deathwish]
