Definetly not the best nforce4 ultra.

Question is what are you planning on doing with this system? O/cing?

If you plan on O/C'ing the DFI Nforce 4 Ultra boards will be available within the next month and should probably be the best O/cing mb out for the time being(Not knowing what the future holds) They seem to be running around 150 USD. Another great choice would be the MSI Neo4 Platinum, but I think it's price is a little more around 175 USD or so and afaik it isn't available probably for another 3 weeks to a month.

If you don't plan on O/cing then the chaintech will do just fine, or the gigabyte. These are two of the lower priced solutions.

Do not spend $230 on the Asus A8N when you can get it for easily less than $200. Just check the links in Zebo's thread here:

The lowest priced one that was available up until about today or yesterday was Axent Micro. I ordered from them on 1/7/04, paid $184.24 (that includes shipping). I would recommend them, they are gonna get more in soon. Otherwise, many are selling in the $190 range.


People told me to wait for the DFI, but I have already been waiting for my new system for months, and couldn't any longer.
