Hey All,
I am over here debating on these two boards. I am going to use the onboard sound for now but don't really mind losing a few channels with the epox. I am a newbie and am going to try to overclock an XP1700. Which board is gonna be the better for me? I will be using 1 stick of Kingston Hyper X Memory either a PC3000 512 chip or a decent branded PC3200.
I don't even know what Raid is really used for specifically but I might use it if it is beneficial to me. But that isn't a huge thing. Let me know from experience, or just plain knowledge which is good to go with. Or even if I should just get the Asus A7N8X that is NOT the deluxe??
Help me out guys
Thanks
Frank S
 
8RDA+ is generally considered a better overclocker. As fas as A7N8X DX vs A7N8X, that depends on you. Look at the features that the delux offers and ask yourself if you will be using them or plan to use them in the future. Or take the non-delux board and decide if its features are enough for you.
