Good MotherBoards

[Lunk]

Looking for a good mobo. For AMD64 Socket 939 CPU.

 

Would like some suggestions from guys that have one.

Well there are really only 3 choices in my eyes. Haven't heard anything good about the gigabyte board.

 

ABIT "AV8" K8T800 Pro Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 939 CPU -RETAIL

ASUS "A8V Deluxe" VIA K8T800 Pro Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 939 CPU -RETAIL

MSI "K8N Neo2 Platinum" NVIDIA nForce3 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 939 CPU -RETAIL

Each board has its ups and downs. My first 939 board was the MSI board but after building we couldn't get windows installed on the thing. Could have just been a bad board. Got a refund and went with the ASUS. I might have blown the AGP slot installing or it could have been DOA.

 

Currently waiting for my replacement ASUS from Newegg then giving it to a pro to install. I don't want to mess up a 3rd board and want to get my new rig up and running. I'm sure the others will agree with these.

I'd go Neo all the way, thats what I use, I especially like the MSI live update stuff, SUPER easy to update bios and mobo drivers. The surround sound on this board sounds better than my Audigy, so it's in a box on the shelf. All info in the magazines seem to favor MSI as well.

 

Thats my 2 cents, hopefully its worth more than my cs skill.
