Which Mobo

[Crisper]

Good day mates.First time (Virgin)poster here.Have read lots though on this forum great info here.Out of curiosity (want to put another system together with limited money)which would you prefer?In Anands review the asus a7v133 got top reviews but I have been looking at the A7m266.Now that memory is cheaper this might be a good choice but you cant overclock except for the fsb on this mobo.Should I flip a coin.I'm a big time gamer plus the chipset for the a7v133 are pretty mature.Decisions Decisions!Any input would be appreciated.

Grr, Had just typed up the message and hit the wrong link ^_-

It was something like this...:

You can unlock the multiplier lock with modifications on most ASUS boards,and you can bypass the CPU multiplier lock as well. Tomshardware.com has some excellent information on such proceedings.

I have an ASUS A7V and its' an excellent board as long as you have the current BIOS and all the correct drivers

ASUS has a very good track record and they fix their flaws. If you go for an A7V get the revision with the multiplier already bypassed
