I want to know which board is the best board for me... here is my predicament:
I have the following:
MSI K8N Neo 2 platinum
3000+ @ 275 FSB x 9 (2.47 GHZ)
2x512 Ballistix PC3200 @ 183MHZ (2/3 ratio) 2-4-4-10
Enermax 420W Noisetaker
HTT 3x / Stock CPU voltage
Geforce 4 TI4600
As you can see, my system is Okay by today's standards... Except for the Video card which is 4 years old. So, I ordered an X800XL for $222 after Dealcatcher coupons from ATI (still havent recieved it). But it is PCI-E... I don't need SLI (but would be nice for the option maybe later).
So, I am going to replace my motherboard, but I need to know what you guys think. I think the K8N Neo 2 is a good board, I had the AV8, and am open to other chipsets. I want to overclock, and I don't necessarily NEED SLI.
Here are some of my top picks, in order of what I heard is best:
DFI Nforce 4 Ultra/SLI
ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI diamond
Gigabyte Nforce 4
ABit K8T890 Pro (via)
or wait for Radeon Xpress chipset...
What do you guys think is the best Athlon 64 motherboard for my needs?
