Should I buy a ECS 755A or the K8T Neo from MSI.

Have to pick a motherboard for the Athlon 64 and wondered what your opinion might be. I read reviews that like the Sis 755 chipset and others that pick the neo as the best current Athlon board. The ecs has not been review that I can see. Will probably not overclock. Will be ordering the 64 with 512 cache soon and would appreciate any input. Thanks.

I would go with the VIA as it has been out longer and you are also getting a more mature board.

Now if you were saying "I am looking to get a board in 3-4 weeks...." then I would say hold on for the SiS755.

I am also int eh boat you are, waiting for the 755 but might be buying a board this week. The one I like is the Albatron K8X800. So I will probable get that with a Athlon 64 3000+

Well I decided that since it won't be overclocked and since I found the neo for 126 and there may be a 20 dollar rebate, I decided to go with it since it has better RAID options and looks like it will handle 8 drives.
