btw, why dont you just add this board to your old topic?

[Dray_04]

via chipset? and n force2?

whats the main differencce between these???

should i really be worried bout it?

im a gamer

[Virtualbody1234]

You were comparing 2 boards before. The Asus and the Gigabyte. Those 2 use the Nforce2 which imo is way better that the Via.

so am i going to regret getting this board.? i can get it for much cheaper than the a7n8x deluxe? man i hate decisions....

is it worth paying an extra NZ$100 for the nforce2 asus?

What about the Gigabyte? Wasn't that cheaper.

As I already told you. I have a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro 2 board.

Did you find something wrong with that one?

[Dray_04]

the gigabyte was cheaper, but my mate sed something about IDE RAID or IDE SATA or sumthing like that.

something to do with one of those.

also i just found this on the soyo board:

Chipset Type
VIA KT400
Chipset Description
VIA KT400 / 8235 chipset
Supports 266/333 MHz FSB

is that bad for my specs below.

oh, is it good for gaming?

lol, id hate to say this to you but ppl over here rekon the gigabyte mobos are lemons. this guy specialises and sells mobos, g cards, and memory. and he rekons the gigabytes that we get shipped to NZ, from the big companies overseas are lemons.

here it is:

1) asus a7n8x deluxe &#036;250-260
2) gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro 2 &#036;140-190 i forgot now
3) soyo DRAGON &#036;190

and why?

What was the problem with the IDE RAID or IDE SATA ?

I ask because that Gigabyte board can also be had without IDE RAID or IDE SATA for even less money.

This one: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/MotherBoard/Pro..._GA-7N400-L.htm



Supports 400 MHz FSB.

Also your Soyo only has Optional Serial ATA / Embedded Hipoint IDE-RAID chip.
