Looking for any MicroATX Athlon64 Boards that Use the Via K8T800 PRO or the Nvidia nForce3 250Gb.

Really prefer the nForce 250Gb.

Basicly my delema is all the MicroATX Athlon64 boards look to be first gen chipsets. I don't want an Athlon64 with first gen chipset.

Socket 754 or 939 ... I could go either way.

Only way I've found to get a A64 with a current chipset is to get a Barebones small form factor. They are a bit pricy. And I've already got a nice MicroATX case.

The only micro atx board I've seen has an sis 760 chipset with video, sound, and lan. Newegg has them refurbished for $93 (gigabyte). They used to have them new for $103, but I don't know if they still carry them.

Don't want SiS.

Want Nvidia nForce3 250Gb or a Via K8T800 PRO.

Newegg has plenty of the nforce3 150 micro boards and via K8M800... but this isn't what I'm looking for

DFI has 3 micro atx's based in VIA K8M800 and VIA VT8237. The latest pro chip does next to nothing with its 1 gHz bus. Has PCI lock as I remember. Anyway I saw a benchmark where the moved it back and forth from 800 to 1000. The bus increase wasnt significant. Disappointed was the summaztion up of the article. Didnt give significant, expected, performance increase.


DFI's 754s

Well check out DFI. They are expected to have teh best OCing board due 9-2-04. They primarily make boards for other labels if you havent heard of them.
