Motherboard choice

I just got the Asus AV8 Deluxe and haven't opened it yet, I found a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum for the same price($132). What would you do, Keep the Asus or get the MSI? Which is the best board?

Speed is about the same... go by features. Nothing is impressive to me about nf3 boards, especially that one. The K8T800 is just as good in my eyes if not better.


I am probably going to get the Abit AV8 since it is slightly faster than the ASUS A8V and I like Abit stuff.

I have the Asus board and I'm really satisfied with it. MSI Neo2 has some problems that the Asus board doesn't have, such as (partly) faulty SATA connectors. Basically it comes to this:

Asus for reliability (i.e. durability, etc.).
MSI for performance (i.e. overclocking, etc).
