Which AV8 should I buy? ASUS A8V Deluxe vs Abit AV8

[Zebo]

I want to know which is highest FSB capable?

I'm a bit scared to get VIA but not half as scared as I am of MSI NF3.

I'm going with the ASUS becuase It's compatible with the XP-120.

Abit AV8 - 295 FSB - HardOCP says they were able to push it to 295FSB in their latest article.

however, in their older review, they said the board wasn't much stable past 250FSB. Link

Socket 939 Roundup

Abit did 280 there and Asus did 289. Both received silver awards. If you were going to get asus, make sure to get revision 2 with a working AGP/PCI lock.

Any reason why you don't want to consider Nforce 3 Ultra chipset motherboards?

Also on Newegg, Asus is $129 and Abit is $111. So it depends if you are looking to save some $$$. I doubt there will be much difference between either of them. Both are very good overclockers, have same K8T800Pro chipset. The Asus does have a slightly better sound chip onboard.

At ZipZoom they have a promotion for ASUS Wi/fi free with A8V Deluxe rev.2 for $129.00.
