Has anyone compiled a list of the nforce 3 250Gb boards?

[coolred]

I have to build a new rig soon, and am considering going 64bit with this chipset, and am looking for all the board currently or soon to be available based on it. Just from my searching, I have found, Epox, Chaintech, Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI, but I have just been checking posts on the forum, if anyoen has a better list I would appreciate it.


Also I am considering getting an Antec Aria, so are any of these boards or future boards of the micro ATX standard?

Same boat as you, looking to buy an nForce3-250 chipset board for a new build. Here's my scorecard:

Asus K8N-E Deluxe

Chaintech ZNF3-250Gb Pro Zenith

DFI LANParty NF3-250

Epox EP-8KDA3+ / EP-8KDA3J

Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP

MSI K8N Neo Platinum

Very little info about DFI's entry; nothing on their website, no reviews, and whispers on the forums. There's also the value Chaintech VNF3-250 and it's been discussed quite a bit on this forum.The big question for me, though, is when these boards will show up at retailers. I hope it's this month!

Thanks, you wouldn't happen to be able to tell me off the top fo your head what the differances tend to be between DFI's Infinity and lanparty motherboards would ya?

Still not looking good for mATX boards, do they normally come out later then standard ATX boards, or should I just not expect many?

Abit is also working on a board, but all we know is that they said so in their forums, not even an ETA or anything :/

I'm having a very difficult time differentiating between these boards. The features on many of them are seamingly identical. I do know the Asus supports CnQ (do they all?) and many of the boards have the SiI3114, which I will want. The Chaintech has a media riser, but I don't know the benefits of this. What else should I know? So far I like the Asus.

Says the Epox is only reliable w/ one stick or RAM and the MSI is untested.

MSI K8N Neo Platinum is an awesome board. Package is fully equipped with all cables. Excellent value...

You left out my Mobo!

SL-K8AN2E-GR

I doesn't have a very high vcore option, but for the $ It's feature rich and very stable.

I'll vouch for the K8N Neo Platinum as well.

I have a MSI neo plat as well. It's running great for me.
