right now i have a weak gigabyte boardw/ agp and desperatly need to upgrade
i would like a s939 sli board with good overclocking options im thinking of getting either asus or dfi but dont know whitch i would need the board to be under 200 so finding a decent board wont be a problem the problem is that there are so many to choose from
any help or advice would be appreciated thanks
 
ive been looking at the LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert since it seems i can do alot with it whenit comes to overclocking if anyone hase this board do you have any tips or suggestions
 
I wouldn't spend that much on a 939 board at this point, but the Expert is great, probably the best OCer out there.
 
Not so about DFI. Best OC'er right now is asus A8R32 MVP, Abit AT8 is a solid board w/ very good OC'ing. Asrock 939 sli esata(w/ volt mods) can beat any mobo and sells for $85.
If you still want to use your AGP card, the cheapest way out is Asrock dual sataII for $69
and is a great overclocker. I have it @ 2766 (307x9 1:1) w/ Venice 3000.
But if you are planning to overclock up to 35% Asrock -estat for $85 is your best bet for SLI.
Do your search and read the reviews here by anandtech and choose what suites your need. Not what I say or anyone. Specially those claiming DFI being the best mobo or the best OC'er. Check the DFI Street Forum, and you will see tons of people posting problems w/ their DFI board.

 
there is no way im keepin my agp card its only a 6600gt and ive heard that there can be some problems with the expert and that i would have to fiddle around w/ the bios and do more tweaking thn normally but id rather have more options than find out that im stuck with a board limited options and possible limited functionality oh yea this will sound stupid but why is there a 4 pin power socket on the nf4boards
