ok here a new question i am looking to build a new pc and want to use an asus motherboard butam not sure which is the best one to use. so i was wandering if a few of you guys can give me some suggestions. im on a $500 budget i have pc 2700 and 2100 memory on hand that i want to use till i can get 3200 or 4400. I have a case with a 450 watt power supply dvd roms and a 40 gig hard drive. this hard drive is only temp. i plan on getting a 160 harddrive soon. all i need is the board, chip, and fan. i would like to use an atx board and not a microatx.

SLI can run up some money on the motherboard, since it's to support dual video cards. it's just a question of how much gaming you want to do with that. What kind of fan did you want? one to cool down the processor?

Sorry, can you tell me which one it is? My PC doesn't like looking at the newegg website for some reason, I live in the UK. It's been fine before, but sometimes I just can't get through... :-(
Never mind, got it now. A8V's use the VIA chipset which isn't as good as the nForce 4, particularly if you're overclocking you'd want the A8N-SLi, whether you'll use SLi or not.
Erk. wrong thread. I'm a mess!
You'd find an nForce 4 chipset faster and it's just a better mobo overall.

Heh cool. I'd recommend the nForce 4 over any other chipset, at least on socket 939 and 775. Not sure about the 500 on AM2, but let's not complicate things further!

not only is XMS fantastic, it's also quite cheap as long as you don't go for the CAS2 stuff. You'd be better off using 3200 in a newer system, 2100 really will cause a bottleneck.

Games is what I want and I went 4200+ with an A8N-SLi, but the SE version because I don't need uber-fanless stupendous number of S-ATA ports gunk.
