SK8N or SK8V

[Selso2109]

I just got the Athlon 64 FX-53 processor, should i get the ASUS SK8N motherboard based on the nforce chip or get the SK8V based on the VIA K8T800 chip?

Why did you go with a 940 fx, instad of the 939? I would recommend the sk8v, as the sk8n is based on the nforce3 150, and it is an inferior chipset to the via, though the nforce3 250 would be a better choice then either of those chipsets.
