Shuttle AN50R vs Gigabyte K8NPRO

[irenealan]

Hi

I wonder which motherboard would you guys recommend for moderate OC on a A64 3400+? A Shuttle AN50R or the Gigabyte GA-K8NPRO?

Also I can get a deal on a New A64 3400+ Retail @ $320, should I get it or save $100 to get a 3000+ and OC it? Is it a good price for the 3400+? or should I wait for the 939 chipset?

Lastly, is there really much performance different between the 754 and 939?

Very much thanks for your rapid response as I need to close the deal for both the motherboard and the cpu soon if I really need to get it thanks!

I'm bias, I have the AN50R and I've been nothin' but impressed with it. I'd probably spend the extra $100 on the 3400+ because going from 2.2ghz to 2.4-2.5ghz shouldn't be to difficult with it.

is this a local deal on the A64 3400+?
