ASUS 754 Socket AMD 64 VS. Epox 754 Socket AMD 64

[Tecleaus]

which is the better of the two:

ASUS "K8N" NVIDIA nForce3 Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 754 CPU -RETAIL

or

EPoX "EP-8KDA3+" nForce3 250Gb Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 754 CPU -RETAIL

i'd wait a week or so for the DFI lan Party UT 250gb. the reviews have been calling it the best 754 socket mobo period. one review was able to overl**** up to a stable DDR616 fsb. it uses all of the chipsets available goodies too. raid for SATA(4) & PATA(2). lot's of stuff. i'll be getting this board in october when i build my 64bit rig.

I know about that but how much will the DFI LanParty UT cost and is the SOLTEK "SL-K8AN2E-GR" NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 754 CPU -RETAIL a good card or what.

the soltek one is pretty good but it only has 2 dimm slots so i wouldnt get it if you want to over clock...because its bad cooling for the memory

i would expect the lanparty to be priced similarily to other lanparties around 200 to 220 canadian

yeah it's supposed to sell for about $129 US. well worth the money to me but we'll see when it goes retail.

[Tecleaus]

Is there a definate date for when it comes out because it isnt even on newegg yet?????

[Tecleaus]

And can the EPoX EP-8KDA3+ really support 3GB of PC3200 Ram
