New MOBO for A64 3400!!! Help!!!

[curtisbouvier]

Could some one please point me in the right direction for a HAULL ass motherboard for an A64 3400 newcastle.

I plan on overclocking the living hell out of this with my EXOS water cooling system and my Crucial Ballistix memory (PC4000)

i heard the ASUS k8N E

any one have any better mobo's than this for example?

i guess since no one understands, let me refrase the question......


what is the --BEST-- s754 motherboard out there?

most will say the dfi lanparty nf3 board.

I just got this epox 8kda3j board this weekend and for $73.00, I dont think it can be beat.

the DFI eh? a few guys have told me this too. the board layout is identicle the asus K8N-E Deluxe.... Kinda cool.

Does the DFI Lanparty have an AGP/PCI lock at 66 mhz or somthing? i know you need that to overclock.

If anybody knows. is the multiplier locked or unlocked on the A64 3400 newcastle?

becuase i notice in some screenshots of the DFI bus you can change the multiplier....

 

[slag]

yes, it has a lock. The nforce3 chipset allows for an agp lock

The multipler is not locked--it will allow you to drop down in multipliers, but not go up.

DFI hands down.

What are the major differences between the ASUS k8N E Deluxe and the DFI Lanparty NF3?

It's a tough choice. WHat are the major things between these 2 boards......

other than price of course =)

the dfi has 133t (kinda) uv reactive parts on the motherboard and can potentially overclock a lot more
