    From the Intel camp for Socket 775, the Asus P5WD2 series seems to be king of the hill. I'd love to try one of Abit's AW8 boards, but I want to wait until reports are in of consistent Abit quality control. I used to use Abit nearly exclusively for both AMD and Intel.

    The Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe is hot ...a little too pricey for now but that will be coming down soon. Make sure to give it high amps from a strong psu.

    I have that board. Haven't had a chance to flex its overclocking skills yet. Still, every MSI board I've ever used has been stable as all get out.

    The RD580 mobos look hot. Nice features, great speed.
    There is the DFI580 and an ABIT AT8-32X.
    I have no use for Crossfire, but it might be cute to use to video cards and drive 4 monitors.

    Any news yet about nF5?

    Available? Well, sort of.....
    I can find tech data, and reviews, and I think that I found prices (but I couldn't read the page, not my language). But alas, none for delivery yet.

    I'd really love to find one of these: DFI Venus NF4 (Limted Edition)

    Pretty much the DFI Expert NF4 with top of the line metalic capacitors etc.

    abit is business as usual even though they were bought out (or merged) recently ...sorta like 3dlabs was bought by creativelabs but 3dlabs is near biting the dust as is SGI. SGI is hoping for a comeback at immersive 3D technology ...see louisiana lite.

    I am looking at the ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe Socket 939 Dual x16 PCIe (ATI CrossFire Radeon XPRESS 3200) to replace the MSI mobo I have right now. I need to know an experts opinion on what video card would go good with this board. I dont want to spend and arm and a leg for the card either. PCI express 16x, 256mb, at least. I dont plan on playing games with the machine, I do photo and movie editing and on my machine. The Radeon 9600XT 256mb and MSI K8T Neo board that I have right now seem to be giving me fits for some reason, and I am slowly rebuilding the system to act correctly. I am running two SATA 2 Hard drives in a striped 0 Raid right now too. Thanks for any help you guys and gals can provide.

    This mobo is more stacked than Pamela Anderson! I havent been looking into the motherboards lately since most of the problems went away since I found one of my raid cables were not 100%. But, I think when the price of this beast goes south a bit, I will invest. Thanks for the tip!

    I still like the same board for gaming with a single core processor, however for video editing etc... a dual core chip and possible a differant mobo.

    I know this is old, but I am nominating the BIOSTAR TA690G... a very versatile overclocker uATX board with GB ethernet (PCIe lane), solid state caps, three phase power, HDMI/DVI/VGA output, HDCP integrated support, board layout supports a 2 slot PCIe 16x solution and still have 2 PCI slots avalable, onboard power and reset switch, 4 fan headers, High definition Realtek ALC888 codec, etc.

    Mate this with an AM2 X2 3600+ and you have yourself a gem...65nm low wattage goodness with some headroom for the OC.

    Crossfire or SLI?

    I want the best gaming AMD motherboard with sli. I wonder which is best for gaming (single core, duel core or quad core) What is the best chipset ? 590? Looking for all feedback!
  • RyderRyder Kalamazoo, Mi Icrontian
    edited February 2008
    The only AM2 chipset with SLI is the 590, there has not been another from Nvidia yet.

    If you wanted Crossfire that is another story.

    So far...you can't run Quad (Phenom) on 590, that I know of, but don't take that as gospel.

    6400+ Black Edition CPU and DFI NF590 SLI M2G/R, IMO is the board you want.

    Do you think the DFI board you mentioned is better than the ASUS Crosshair?

    Actually, there are less expensive nForce 570 SLI systems. The 570 is a single chip solution, but still offers a decent feature set. The DFI Infinity NF570-SLI M2/G is a great alternative to the DFI NF590. The DFI NF590 is still a great board, though.

    I see asus has another board coming out (AMD) with sli support with a new chipset (the 780a chipset)
    check out the website below.

    I've had the opportunity to use Biostar's new TA770+ as well. It is a great budget board. It's got a tweaker BIOS comarible to DFI's offerings and can do 350MHz HTT without issue.

    ive got a skt 939 4800+ that i need to buy a mainboard for. its one of the old power hungry ones from back when they first came out. id like something with 2 16x pcie slots. i dont think ill be running sli specifically, but i run 4 monitors so the extra video card slot is needed. ive also got 4x 1gig ddr400 ocz platinum ram sticks to put in it. id like something high end thats very stable. ive tried the dfi lanparty nf4 sli-dr and im not too happy with the nforce 4 chipset. i was having trouble with stalling and random lag where the system would lock for about 5 seconds and start working again. buying new would be a bonus, but id gladly hit ebay if needed. any thoughts?
