Whats the fastest and most feature rich KT600 board around ?

[Drift3r]

So which is the best KT600 board to get which is fast, stable and has a lot of features ?

If your building a socket a machine, the Nforce boards are about the same price , features, and significantly outperform the KT600 boards.

Yes I am replacing a A-Socket board. Which N-Force board is the best ? Also are you sure that they beat out KT600 boards when it comes to performance ?

IMO, the best Socket A nForce 2 board now is the Abit NF7-S 2.0 for about $85. You get soundstorm sound, LAN, USB 2.0 (Native), SATA, Firewire (Native), and excellent o/cing options. The DFI Lan Party is also popular now, but the NF7-S is really the socket A standard right now...IMO.

Yea I agree. But definately get an Nforce board.

Okay thanks for the heads up guys. I would like more comments on which n-force 2 board I should get though.

Im running the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe on my system. Its a very good and stable board, plus it has a WI Fi slot on board. Overclocks farely well but i think that the NF7-S is a bit better there. As for stability this board is rock solid. Pick One of those 3 and youll be happy.

my suggestion is the Shuttle AN35N-Ultra. it is cheap and awesome.

In the socket A boards I look at it like this...


nForce2 = Highend A boards, little more picky with ram and drivers
KT600 = Cheap good all round boards, very easy to setup and accepts pretty much all ram (makers that is)

I've been looking at the Aopen AK77 600MAX. It's a KT600 and it's loaded. I can't speak for it's speed, but I haven't found a board with USB2.0, FIrewire, 4 channel SATA, 3 IDE channels (2+1). I haven't found any Nforce boards with the same features. I'm looking for stability, but don't need overclocking. Are there any NForce boards that come close in terms of features?
