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 $250-260
2) gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro 2 $140-190 i forgot now
3) soyo DRAGON $190

and why?

This guy that sells mobos, does he sell Gigabytes?

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.

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.

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

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

[QazQaz007]

just get this, it covers all the bases and is great for games... its what i drool over


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 &#036;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
