Quick.....Soltek 75DRV2 or 8KHA+????

[gdawson6]

I need some quick responses,

I just got 2 new motherboards, the Purple Ray 75DRV2 and the 8KHA+ from newegg refurb, both came with everything, and work great. I'm going to have to sell one on eGay and keep on for myself.

Which one should i choose??? i benchmarked them with Sandra and got slightly higher from the CPU tests from the Soltek but got higher memory bandwidth from the 8kha+ , but i think thats cause i could only get the memory on the soltek to run on Fast when i could run the memory on Turbo with the 8kha+.

Please help me decide, and thanks in advance for your opinions.

Ogo, my long lost relative, I have found u at last!!!

Seriously thou, although I don't have either board, my vote goes for the Soltek. From everything i've read about it, its a great board. The hype for the Epox board is very great because it was one of the first available kt266a boards out there, however it has had its fair amount of people dissatisfied with it. Also, tomshardware ranks the best kt266a board out there as the Soltek.

I am sure u won't be dissapointed with either board.

Ahh....choices choices....seriously i don't know which i like better. I have a natural bias for the soltek just because it looks cooler because purple pcb isnt something you see everyday. On the other hand, I liked being able to use Turbo settings for memory with my Epox. Both are awesome boards, I think i should have my mind made up by tomorrow, but really dont know which i am going to choose.
