Thats probably the best 939 motherboard you'll be finding but it's not in stock. So go with the ASUS A8N-SLI SE. I'd much rather ASUS over Biostar any day.

If you can find the A8N32-SLI Deluxe, then get that as its the best IMO. Unless you want DFI/can find DFI.

High Demand, Low (or NO) Output = High Price :p


Khat 23, i would recommend the Asus A8N-SLi SE because it's a proven performer, and most of us who had gone through socket 939 had been awed by this motherboard ;)

But if you got the A8N-Sli and it came with the HSF (Heatsink + FAN) for the northbridge make sure you keep an eye for it. A8N-SLi fan was known to fail and that failure would eventually kill the board :p

The A8N-SLI SE has the updated chipset fan btw.

That, given that if the motherboard was manufactured recently :eek:
Most of the socket 939 motherboard around came from old stock ........

I know that nVidia stopped producing socket 939 chipset except the lord of integrated graphics chipset the nForce 6100 & 6150.
The announcement of socket 939 chipset discontinuation makes all socket 939 owner whined. I even upgrade to new system because of this :p
