motherboard for amd64

[guynexdoor]

i ordered an msi nf4 mobo last week, and then i canceled the order.
i'm building around an a64 300 skt 939

i canceled cause recently i've seen that there are cheaper mobos out there. i was paying 154 for the msi.

i wanted to get asus, but they don't have nf4 ultra mobo.

i mean, should I have just stuck with my MSI nf4? I want to stick to nf54 b/c I read that a64 works really well with the nvidia chipset, and I don't know much about the A8 chips.
what do yout guys thinki

i just want to get the most for my money, and this is my first PC. i mean, what do people feel about the msi nf4

also, I read this page, and it ranks asus to be very good, but it's not nf4
http://www.motherboards.org/ranking/motherboards/AMD939/

should I just get a cheaper nf4 mobo? cause I heard that gigabyte is cheaper rpice, but not sure about quality. I DO NOT PLAN ON OVERCLOCKING, so that might help in the decision.

Thanks.

Dude I just built my Athlon 64 with an NF3-250 Momo and DUDE IT RUNS SWEEET. Mobo was only $74 and that was about 3 months ago.

Cant beat it. Its got onboard lan and 4 usb ports. NICE NICE.

MSI is good, but it all depends on what U want to build, and what U build it for. I suggest strongly to look at this thread:

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...804&highlight_key=y&keyword1=CK804K8MA

In that thread, it shows dozens and dozens on boards with reviews, prices, etc etc, specially with chipset models, etc. Very very good information thread that can help U decide what U want and how much U want to spend.

Hope this helps.

Cya...
