Looking for a good socket 939 mobo with agp 8x.

What are some good motherboards for socket 939 with agp 8x? I was looking at this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135216
i like the nvidia chipset too.

I know it isnt a good brand but it is decent and most of the reviews were happy with it. I also like the msi neo2 platinum but they dont sell it anywhere besides ebay. Anybody know some good ones?

Just don't buy the Gigabyte one... I had 2 of them come DOA. And that's 2 for 2. Not a lot or anything.

yeah lol i remember you told me about that. I liked that one but it only supports 800mhz fsb. All the athlon 64's for socket 939 are 1000mhz fsb. I want to get the msi one but getting the ecs one on newegg will be less of a hassle. I want it to have an nVidia chipset too.

OK here's the thing. You all know pzerofgh from tech forums? He si going to sell me his MSI Neo2 Platinum for only $60. Here is a link to it:

I know this is a good deal, but if you were me would you buy the new ECS mobo or the used MSI neo2 platinum?

Here are my options to which motherboard to buy. It needs to be socket 939 and it needs to have agp 8x. OK here they are:

1.ECS NF3-A939 motherboard

2.Buy Pzerofgh's MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard off him

3.Abit UL8 motherboard wth Uli M1689 chipset.

4.Asus A8V motherboard

5.Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 motherboard.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128307

So these motherboards are the ones I have been looking at. I am leaning towards the ecs one bcuz it is cheap but it has everything i need, agp 8x, nf3 chipset, socket 939, decent overclocker.

wtf?

I had an ECS one for a while. It was the PCI Express version, but I wasn't too thrilled. I think I'd go with PZERO's MSI.

The Asus board is nice. Buy PZERO's mobo will do just as well. So either one will do fine.

 

[BiGyLiLuPdAmIdL]

yeah i really do want Pzerofgh's msi mobo but i dont knwo if it is in good condition, or if He will try to rip me off. Has anybody ever boughten anything off pzerofgh before? He is giving me a good price however. $60 with the manual,the cd, the i/o shield and the box.

OK Now i narrowed ti down to two mobos. I don't want to spend over $65 and both of these are under $65 with tax and shipping included. I dont want to get a Used mobo or a refurbished mobo. I want it new this way i can return it to newegg if I have problems and I can have a warranty.It either between this ECS mobo or this Gigabyte one:

ECS NF3A-939:

Gigabyte GA-K8U-939:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128307

I am either going to buy one of these and nothing more. Thanx for all the help though.
