Title says it all, I have the opportunity to change my Asus K8V Deluxe for a MSI K8N Neo Platinum for free. Is it worth it or will I hardly notice any difference, I need your opinions

Cheers

Jim.

    Maybe a shade better performance from the MSI but the MSI won't run your memory :(

    When Toms did testing of that board, it barfed with TwinMOS. As does my K8N that is setting next to me in it's box.

    Dan, that may not be a problem as I also have ch-5, bh-6 & corsair that I could put in there.

    The corsair should work :)

    What stepping is your A64? CO or CG? What core??

    The K8N kicks ass with the right memory but it is fussy. So many onboard options, it's kickass.
