Well, the ABIT AN8 Fatal1ty got thumped in an Anandtech review a few weeks ago, it seemed to be a pretty mediocre performer in terms of overclocking. Maybe the AT reviewer just got a bad unit, who knows.

Going strictly by that standard you should go with the MSI, ABIT makes a lot of great boards (in fact I'm typing this from my ABIT AV8-based gaming rig) but this doesn't seem to be one of them.

Why not get the non-Fat version AN8 SLI for almost $70 less? ABIT AN8 SLI As far as I can tell, there only differences are the Dual OTES and the Guru panel. Save your $70 and get the AN8 SLI.

The fatal1ty version offers 3.55v dimm where the vanilla AN8 only offers 2.9v dimm. Big difference.
