looks good except for teh via chipset, i prefer nforce 2.
btw, why dont you just add this board to your old topic?
via chipset? and n force2?
whats the main differencce between these???
should i really be worried bout it?
im a gamer :)
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.Quote:

Did you find something wrong with that one?
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. :blink:

oh, is it good for gaming?
lol, id hate to say this to you but ppl over here rekon the gigabyte mobos are lemons. :lol: 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 $250-260
2) gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro 2 $140-190 i forgot now
3) soyo DRAGON $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
http://www.tape.ro/picprod/ga7n400l.jpg
Supports 400 MHz FSB.
Also your Soyo only has Optional Serial ATA / Embedded Hipoint IDE-RAID chip.
This guy that sells mobos, does he sell Gigabytes?Quote:

shouldnt i be getting a mobo with raid and sata for future upgrades...
i want to be able to upgrade my system periodically without changing mobos all the time.
i dont think he sells gigabytes lol
p.s . ill be back in about 4 hours (got work, but thanks for the replys)
I think his opinion may be a bit biased.Quote:

I personally think that a salesman that is recommending a board with a Via chipset over one with an Nforce2 chipset shouldn't be trusted.
mannn, go with the gigabyte for sure.
it looks good, it is cheaper than the asus, same price as soyo but much better performer, and you can get the option or sata and raid if you want it for not to much more.
the gigabyte is definately the way to go.
then why the hell are you getting a new mobo now? with BTX and PCI Express coming out?Quote:

Now that sounds a little biased, and I don't think YOU are one of those people.Quote:

I have a VIA chip and it hasn't give me problems at all for the time I've had it (one year now). And yes, it runs perfectly. So IMEO (In my EXPERIENCED opinion), there's nothing with the VIA :)

And don't forget the 64 bit.
when is pci express coming out???????????????
fuck im not trying to be tech. i was asking whether i should get it or not, pitbul
just get this, it covers all the bases and is great for games... its what i drool over
http://www.chaintechusa.com/tw/image...ard/7NJS_M.jpg
there site is http://www.chaintech.com.tw/
its the 7NJS Ultra ZENITH
it runs with AMD XP 32 bit and it has the nforce 2 chipset
they ask a little much for it about $120~150
but in every review i have seen it got at lest a 9 out of 10
also it comes with round cables and a remote and a whole lot of other good stuff
its well worth it
:D
Spring, and BTX will be along around that time too, since PCI-E is in BTX motherboards.Quote:
