    If limited to those 3 then I would go with the last one with the VIA chipset. But I too wouldn't buy any of them.

    I have always heard bad things about PC Chips...so I dont think I would buy them...motherboard is a very important part on a system...try to maybe save up a little more money and get a good one.

    I prefer n-force over those too, but if I had to chose between them I too would go with VIA. So good choice.
