View Full Version : Which Nforce2 would you choose?
I agree with Pimpin and Colin, the 8RDA+
Well guys, I am nearing the date to building a new comp....and I am considering on getting a Nforce2 board.<BR>Personally I really want the Asus A7N8X deluxe....But which one would you all choose?

I like the MSI I have, or I'd go with the Epox Board.

i would go with the msi board too...
epox 8rda or 8rda+ <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
As an overclocker, IMO there's no board that rivals the 8RDA+. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
personaly i run a A7N8X delux.. and i strongly recommand it !!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

If it's deluxe, it's rich in features. It has a really sweet onboard sound dealie. The regular A7N8X is just decent though.

The 2 boards have the same basic features...but the A7N8X Deluxe has Digital SP/DIF(not sure if 8DRA+has it), SATA, and Dual LAN.<BR>The 8RDA+ is a better overclocker(so everyone who's used says).
FTO, DeanLowe pretty much hit the nail here.<BR><BR>You need to ask yourself though, do you really need all those "extra" features? <BR><BR>I got an A7N8X basic here and it does not overclock as well as my 8RDA+. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
hmm....guess i dont really need those features....and the epox board is like 70 bucks cheaper....guess maybe ill get that instead

Did you get this board from the place that took like 4 weeks to deliver it? Can't you get an advanced RMA? I got my new maxtor drive, then I had to go and ship my old one back.
