I'm planning on buying a new computer this weekend and need some help in deciding on a motherboard. The cpu im after is an AMD64 3200+ 939, and the motherboards i am looking at are: MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum 939 $225 Gigabyte K8NF-9 $155 (does it support SLI?) Abit Fatal1ty A8N $??? All the reviews i have read about the MSI have recommended it, though i havnt read much about it in a few forums. The Gigabyte however has been recommended in a few of the forums i have browsed through but, was not compared with the MSI (perhaps MSI was released after?) And i cant find a price for the Abit. If someone who has one of these, or knows about them, could give me their opinions i would be greatful. I'm trying to keep the cost of the mobo preferably not too much above $200. Thanks
I had a look at http://www.auspcmarket.com.au (my usual spot for quick pricing) What features are you looking for particularly ? It seems the new boards that have SLI will be well outside your budget. The ABIT which have always been awesome boards is over $350. Are you wanting all your video/sound/ethernet etc onboard or will you be going for 3rd Party cards ? Cheers Stu
