Asus K8N nForce3 250Gb or Asus K8V-X K8T800 ?

Same price. So which chipset is better? Thanks for help.

I think someone told me that that VIA chip has problems, but don't quote me on that!

Here is a review for the nforce:

still looking for a review of the other.

I think I'll go with the nForce then.

Thanks a lot.

Good choice. I believe the 250Gb has 1000MHz HT bus (as opposed to the K8T800 with 800MHz). I have not experienced any serious problems with the K8T800, as most of my troubles stem from MSI's utilization of the chipset.

DFI LanParty is a good 250Gb board, great for OCin. However, DFI's QC is also suspect. Apparently, the only trustworthy manufacture, IMHO, is ASUS (and Intel, but they don't apply here).
