Livy, what do you want the board to have.

And what is your Price limit in Pounds, or whatever. Heh, I will shop around for u.

Hey thanks. :)

My limit is about £50-60 if the board is right, but wouldn't mind paying less. Another nice board, is there much to recommend it over the biostar Livy pointed out?

diff between the epox and biostar are.
epox has firwire.
1 more memory slot.

better for overlclockign

The Firewire is only on the 8RDA3+ not the 8RDA3I, if im not mistaken.

Here is another MSI I found.

Looks good, has dual channel memory, but you will have to spend probably about 70 to get things such as S-ATA.



Here's MSI's S-ATA board, with firewire. Its 66 dollars.

The Epox 8rda3+ is about 2 dollars more, when you get two free rounded IDE cables. :D

Also, what is VAT, in relation to pricing in your country?

That's one of the ones I linked to earlier. I'm in the UK, so that SATA board is £66, about $100 I think. VAT is 17.5% here.

I think it's between the non SATA MSI board and the Biostar. Taking shipping into account, the MSI is about £13 more expensive, and an extra £2-3 if I have to buy two 256 sticks to enable dual channel memory (do I?).

Is dual channel RAM worth the extra?
