Want to buy AsusTek A7M266-D... whadya think?

[McManus]

Hi, I was just wondering what y'all think of this board.... it's either this Asus A7M266-D or the Tyan Tiger MPX. I'm leaning more towards the Asus since it's about HALF the price, but what of stability, or what not? Can anyone who has used either of these boards let me know their general impressions and experiences with it? Thanks!

Plenty of reading regarding this and other 760MPX boards. I'm trying to wait for a healthy supply of all boards to see which one rises to the top. But, the Tyan Tiger S2466-4M with the fixed USB is looking darn good for $218 shipped (Buy.com).

Ah, thx for the opinion... I am probably going to end up getting that Tyan Tiger MPX that u were talking about. A lot of my friends recommended it (one does hardware-debug for AMD).

I have the Asus A7M266-D and been having problems with the ATI Radeon 8500 displaying properly. I have tried to fix it the best I could, but could never have it stop making wavy lines accross the screen. I have talked to someone over at Rage3d.com and they have the exact same problem with the 8500, so they were forced to use a TI4400 and it worked flawlessly.
