Tough choice Asus A8N-E or DFI UT nF4 Ultra

[Chinoman]

What'll be a better choice? I dont see a difference in price, so it's up to the features to buy me in.

I am assuming you mean the A8N-E Premium, the non sli board. Well, I don't know where you've seen a price, DTT computers had it and UKoverclockers did, nobody else. Neither had an ETA and there is no ETA, well anywhere on this board. The DFI is listed as what, $155 on ZZF, go with the DFI when that comes out cuz the Asus may never come out.

Oh I actually meant the VIA K8T890 version. Anyone have experience with this board, yet?

The DFI Ultra will let you do SLI with a very minor mod to the northbridge.

For some reason the a8v-E, the k8t890 pci-express asus which includes a wireless access point, isn't making any waves on this forum. I don't know why either.

I am seriously considering for a build I am about to do for my brother though. Costs 150 and just became available last week at online stores.

Is k8t890 any good though, cause it seems everyone is nforcing their brains out... me included with my asus a8n-sli?

I'm just liking asus right now, and the a8v deluxe is considered a great board, so hopefully this a8v-e would be as well.

I wanna see some benchies right about now. I'm thinking some online reviewer is hoarding piles of PCI-E mobos just now...

I think the fact that VIA had so much trouble implementing the k8t890 chipset, everyone is waiting to see how the boards perform in the real world.

Yeah, we saw reviews on the A8N-SLI way before it came out, and now there are a couple of boards that use the Nforce 4......its time for a reviewer to do the battle of the Nforce4 boards and see who wins!
