Nforce2 or KT400 for stability?

[sadb0i]

nforce2 board: soltek sl-75mrn-l
kt400 board: DFI AD77 Infinity VIA KT400

I want the least problems of the two chipsets. I've read all the reviews about the soltek board and all reviews held that board pretty high in terms of performance and stability, but I want input from real users.

Thanks.

All modern chipsets are stable...some just perform better than others. As far as problems go, from what I've experienced its usually poorly written drivers for the add-on cards(i.e. Creative drivers), broken BIOSs(i.e. certain ECS K7S5A BIOS versions) or incompatible hardware(i.e. certain brands of RAM with certain chipsets).

You should not encounter any instabilities at all on neither of these chipsets. Just buy from a good builder (ie Asus, ABIT), and do not overclock.
Good luck!

Built a 75MRN a couple weeks ago for a client and I tested it to the full 211fsb in DC-DDR synch mode rock solid@1.8vdd<--adjustable in bios, and scored close to 5500 3DMark2k1se with the integrated G4MX . I experienced zero issues and I'm thoroughly impressed with, and highly recommend it.

I built a system using the DFI AD77 Infinity. Very stable board. Not the fastest board ever, but very stable even under heavy stress.

the specs are:
DFI AD77 Infinity
AMD XP2100+
1.5 gig PC2700 ram
GF4 TI4200 128
60 gig hdd
40 gig hdd
cdburner
all the usb/firewire stuff from DFI
