!!!HELP!!!

[pentiumobile]

PLEASE SEE MY CHECKOUT

I CAN'T decide on a SLi MOBO, but IT MUST BE from Monarch because they charge less for the shipping since I live on Puerto Rico.

The mobo MUST be from here

The thing is that I will NOT put the other SLi card until it drops to 125-150 range.

i DONT plan to heavily overclock (maybe 2.4GHz) and I think 450 PSU is enought

Please help me finishing this order

!!!I CANT FINISH IT ALONE!!!

A DFI SLI-DR or an Asus A8N-SLI should be fine. However, if you get the DFI, you should get different ram, maybe OCZ value or crucial value, since corsair doesn't work so well with the current DFI motherboards.

This are all the SLi boards that Monarch has...I didint chose the DFI since i have Corsair Value and many people argument instability

If it were me I'd get the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe (You'd have to wait for them to get in), ASUS A8N-SLI Premium, or one of the DFI LanParty mobos. Personally I'd opt for the A8N32 but thats just me.

 

[pentiumobile]

Yes, but Asus has 4 SLi MOBO's.

The Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe had a SUPERB review here at Anandtech, but monarch has two of them.

This One For $159
And This Other for $247

Huge price difference and on the photo you could tell the $247 has some changes.

I wouldnt get the A8N SLI Deluxe (the $159). It has known problems with the chipset fan. Either get the A8N32 Deluxe (if you can wait for it) or get the A8N SLI 'Premium'. Take special note of the numbers of the models I'm speaking of. The A8N SLI Deluxe ($159) and the A8N32 SLI Deluxe ($247) are two totally seperate models. Of the two the A8N32 SLI Deluxe is the superior mobo.

let me try and put it into a easier perspective...

A8N SLI Deluxe.....> Good ........A8N SLI Premium.....> Better ......A8N32 SLI Deluxe.....> Best


With the DFI mobos I'm not sure how they rank against one another so I'll let someone more familiar with them rank those.
