New to AMD

[Kristi2k]

Who makes the most solid AMD 64 board out there?

 

[V3NGEANCE]

I would recomend eather going wih DFI, ABIT, or ASUS... all are solid AMD mobo manufacturers

 

[JSLIM]

MSI?

 

[Continuity27]

My DFI Lanparty UT SLI-DR is rock solid.

I'd go with Asus, DFI or MSI.

 

[silverpig]

My DFI is solid too, but it's picky about RAM. Took me quite some time to sort out my RAM issues with the board.

 

[ProviaFan]

I've heard of many issues with MSI boards, and DFI boards perform great in overclocking but can be finicky; I went with ASUS.

 

[Painman]

My DFI experience has been pretty much the same as what the other fellow with a bag over his head said.

The MSI Neo4 treated me well, but can't OC as well as the DFI. More forgiving with RAM though.

 

[Waylay00]

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium is a very nice board. (Note - not the Deluxe version, but the new Premium version)

 

[The Pentium Guy]

MSI = My System Incinerated.

 

[Promethply]

ASUS makes solid A64 mobos, which also have very good RAM compatibility.

 

[imported_Starman]

ASUS :thumbsup:

 

[anarchyreigns]

DFI :thumbsup:

 

[blackstealth007]

Asus Sli:thumbsup:

 

[blackstealth007]

I would choose that mobo or DFI lan party

 

[JBDan]

ASUS=stable/reliable

 

[IEC]

ABIT = reliable and good tweaks, also use high quality components
ASUS = reliable, good BIOS, etc.
DFI = hardcore overclocking

I've never had problems with an ABIT board, and I've used them since the old Celeron A days.

 

[Brian48]

I've always had good results with Epox.

 

[CheesePoofs]

All companies make good boards and bad boards. It really depends on what chipset you want, if you want pcie or agp, and how much you want to spend.

Another vote for Asus here. Reliable/stable indeed. Used them for Socket A and Skt. 754. Haven't been dissapointed.

 

[BTA]

Abit, Gigabyte or Chaintech if you want a "solid" board.

If you want a shakey overclocker, go with DFI or MSI.

If you want just a piece of crap go with Asus.

 

[ProviaFan]

If you want just a piece of crap go with Asus.

Any evidence on that? :roll:

 

[colincsl]

Which would be better to go with for pci-e dual core:
Asus A8N-E
or
Gigabyte GA K8NS Ultra?

The A8N-E, naturally, because the K8NS Ultra doesn't have PCI-E...

 

[colincsl]

Yes it does...
I just saw that the K8NS has the Nforce 4 chipset instead of the Via one the Asus board has. Therefore I pressume the Gigabyte is better, correct?
