Difficult MOBO Choice!!!

[jayzu]

I already had a post on motherboards 2 weeks ago, but I only used that, because it helped me to find the area of board i should search through. Now I have made myself a list that shows all motherboards that have the features that I want. I would like you to help me chose!

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium

MSI K8N Diamond Plus (little expensive)

DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert

I hope you can give me some advice. Thanks.

DFI, Not only are they very stable boards and the best Overclocking boards ever, They have the best customer support.

Like www.dfi-street.com if you have any problems they'll know the answer and solution.

DFI..hands down

Not DFI

Dont go with DFI... Go with the MSI board if you want to have a good borad...

If you run stock get MSI. Other wise DFI IS THE BEST at overclocking.

I have as you can see an AMD 3700+. It is said that this cpu is very good for overclocking. So I would want to overclock, but i also want the possibility of going SLI or maybe upgrade my processor to a x2, but i don't know if that is necassary. I want to have good upgrade possibilities, because the board I have know only has 2 ddr ram slots and only supports amd athlon 64 or sempron. That sucks. I am stuck with amd 64 while the computer market moves on to dual core cpus, 4 gbs of ram and other upgrades that are necassary in the future.

So, I should go DFI even the board I chose costs a little bit???

Yes the DFI-SLI DR Expert is a really good board. you won't regret it.

I heard that you could buy the nonSLI board with all the other features of this board and mod it to SLI. Is that safe? I don't really want to buy a board and ruin it before I used it.

if you want sli,0or the possibility to in the future, go with the msi, that has full x16 support. i hear that asus board was rushed too fast and has alot of bugs. if you go with the dfi, i wouldnt risk patching it, soudns a bit iffy.
tho i did almost get a dfi simply cause of their box =-D

DFI also makes the other mobo that already has SLI standard. I don't know, all my friend tell me to go DFI, cause its a good overclocking board, but on the other side in want to have SLI. Do you think the SLI board made by DFI will work?

Does this board support full 16x SLI? Is it good for OCing?
