Which is Better?

[Cookie Monster]

I have two choices.
Asus P5ND2-Sli nforce4 intel edition
OR
Asus P5WD2 premium (intel 955x chipset)

What is the better out of the two awesome motherboards?
I need help!!
Cheers

Yep. Unless you're looking to do SLI though.
Edit: When is Conroe coming out?

I thought Conroe wasn't going to be coming out until like 2nd half of 2006...

That's what I figured too. Somewhere in 2006 so that they can compete against the M2. The post makes it sound like it's coming rather soon

Q1 2006, read the AT special on intels IDF event.

Thank you for the suggestions.
:beer: cheers

Guess the 955x chipset, aka the Asus P5WD2

Quick question regarding the P5WD2
Will a future bios update or chipset update allow SLi or cross fire to be used on the board?

I'm checking that out right now. It's been a while since I've ventured out of this forum and gone to main-site AT.

Dude, its not dumb. Ive used AMD and intel before.
Im not an extreme gamer, and want something so i can use those dual core conroes coming next year.

Yes, im do heavy multitasking. e.g, 5 programs all at once (depends on how busy i am), photoshop, music, decoding and etc.

My northwood 3.0ghz.. is dying i suppose to the torment i put it through. Screen not responding, slow reaction,
IF i was a gamer, AMD of course.
The AMD X2 heh? Conroe looks way better. 65nm process, higher clocks due to the process while maintaining short pipes, 4mb L2 cache, and all the goodies.

I need DDR2 also, at least 2gb, while AMD cant even support 4x512 at the right speed (like 2T, or 333mhz).
