2 yrs ago when I last upgraded I had never heard of that company.

I was leaning towards the MSI Nf4 board.

I had a 754 Lanparty UT 250 gb a few months ago. If you like to play in the bios and tweak this board is for you. I just read today that the DFI SLI board has the same bios add a few other tweaks. One of the things that makes it so popular is the lanparty boards cater specificaly to us overclockers. Unlike Asus anymore, I used to swear by those boards but the last couple of years their quality has gone downhill, and to make a decent overclocker out of one you must contend with several mods (droop mod, VDimm mod, etc.). DFI and Abit are the way to go as far as overclocking. I had an MSI Neo2 and that was also a very nice 939 board. The Asus A8V that I had was nothing but a PITA.

So cast my vote for either DFI or an MSI, but I will give it some time to see what bugs pop up first before I make a decision. But for me, Asus is definitely out of the picture anymore.

None because PCI-E is a lame duck just like 98% of all the new technology that comes out. Just a marketing scam to get you to rebuild and reinvest more of your hard earned cash for absolute nadda
