What is the best one out there?

How are Aopen motherboards such as the AK79D-400 Max?

    AOpens are usually stable if not OC'd. As a brand, they are not overclocker's boards.

    Unless you ablsolutely must jump now for some reason, I would wait for the Athlon64's to come out, which will give enough time that very solid test and bench data on nF3 baords will be available. If at that time the nF2's look better still, the prices of nF2's should be down some.

    If you must jump into nforce now, try the nforce+MCP-T combos as probably best overall right now. I will be getting an nforce2, probably, or wait for the Athlon64s. Not decided yet.

    In fact,at this point, am likely to get an Opteron 244 first-- and will wait for prices to stablize before doing so.

    The ABIT NF7-S has the MCP-T audio sound set. Currently the NF7-S is $123 and an extra PATA to SATA adapter is $26.

    I can go with my existing AMD Athlon XP2600+ 333FSB 2.08@2.25GHz (Equivalent to a XP2800+ 333FSB) or go get an AMD Athlon XP2800 Barton 2.08GHz for $171

    Because the motherboard makers have boards with each version of the nForce chip, except the nForce 3

    Well .... this still doesnt make sence to me.

    It should be either MB manufacterures, The boards them selves, or the chipsets themselves, not both. You cant vote for Abit AND NForce 2 ultra 400, so why have them both listed

    Since ASUS was the first mfg to put up the nf2 mobo.
    We have three of these up and running with no problems at all. WHY do you not have ASUS listed in your mfg line??
    Do you have problems with ASUS to the extent that you do not list them.
    One of the systems we have up and running has been in service since November 2002. It is a version 1.03 The other two are 1.04's and have been in service since March and April 2003.
    The one I use has a SATA-PATA converter and never had any corruption in files.
    I have a sound card simply the sound does not come out to the speakers in the proper manor. The Logitech Z640's does not work well with the three wire connectors and SS 5.1.
    Since installing the SantaCruz sound card the bass and rear speakers work beautifully.
    Volume is quite loud if turned up high.
    No distortion anywhere.

    I didn't think of it at the time. Maybe a moderator can add Asus to the poll and restart the poll.
