Will you be doing SLi or Crossfire? Pci Express? EDIT: I still say overclocking or not, DFI is still the better option.

[255] Senior Member Posts: 804 Joined: 03/31/2004	Responce to all the questions No SLI or Crossfire.. No Oc'ing... Yes PCI Express and i'll be using a Sapphire x800GTO2 video card.. It's going to be my gaming machine and ocing MIGHT be a viable option later on but I plan on keeping it stock for quite some time. I can spend about $120 on the board.. although about $100 would be nice ------------------------- Opty 170 @ 2.5ghz Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe 2gig gskill @ DDR456 - 2.5-3-3-6 Saphire ATI Radeon x850xt @ 560/580 -SOLD-...

Megadeth Senior Member Posts: 7822 Joined: 08/14/2004	How are the Infinity series, I don't see much different with them except a bit limited on the voltage. What kind of ram do you use? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...asp?...N82E16813136163' ">http://www.newegg.com/Product/...p?Item=N82E16813136163 http://www.newegg.com/Product/...asp?...N82E16813136164' ">http://www.newegg.com/Product/...p?Item=N82E16813136164 Pick either one that fits.

MrWicked1968 Drunk Mouse Syndrome Posts: 8752 Joined: 08/22/2004	there's always the Neo 4-F...same board as the Neo 4 Platinum with a few features missing...not nearly as many BIOS settings as a DFI, but my venice OC's to 2.5ghz with zero problems...however, if your 3500 is a Winchester core and you even want to try to OC, avoid the MSI Neo 4 series altogether. ------------------------- Rig 1: AM2 X2 4850e--MSI K9N Neo V3--2x1gb Mushkin DDR2 800--Sapphire HD4830--Corsair VX450--Acer H213H-Win XP Rig 2:Athlon X2 7850 Kuma--Biostar 780L--2x1gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800--Asus Formula HD4770--Corsair VX450--LG Flatron W2252TQ-Win 7 32-bit Premium Capitalism rocks!
