Suitable replacement for an old A8n Sli se

[CHayes]

Thanks for the help.

I have an old A8n Sli se that no longer works. Is there a suitable replacement for this board, or will I need to order the exact same one?

My video card is a 8800 gtx and using DDR 400 ram

Thanks again

socket 939 boards are incredibly expensive and hard to come by. you'll have to use ebay.

Are these boards comparable in quality>? With that video card, ram etc?

yes. everything will work as a drop in replacement.

I would seriously avoid the A8V-XE. The VIA VT8251 SB had serious issues. It was used by ASUS for a while then ASUS stopped using it in favor of a newly revised VT8237 (which is the SB that was supposed to be replaced by the VT8251).
