| Apex Techie Wannabe | product comparison I'm looking at these four, and they all seem to have the same things to me, I'm going to be using DDR2 800 memory I'm going to have at least one PCI Wireless internet adapter (and possibly a PCI USB/Firewire card as well) I'm looking forward to possibly affording some sort of SLI setup. I'm going to have an AM2 processor. (the windsor 6000+) I also want two hard drives in JBOD setup using a PCI-E x1 card that I'll get. The Biostar looks great to my wallet, but has absolutely 0 reviews, from what I can find. The MSI looks really great, considering it's mid-price, and would save me the trouble of a raid card, but that 2nd PCI-e x16 runs in x8, and I don't know if that's really a noticeable difference or not. The EPoX looks alright, but it doesn't have any of the old style Serial or Com ports, and that is kinda a concern. Plus, if I'm gonna spend $139.99, I might as well chip in an extra $10 and go with The ASUS, the most expensive out of the bunch. It seems like a quality board, but if I could get a cheaper equivalent (like the previous 3), then that'd be great. Everything has it's pros/cons. any and all help is appreciated, please don't spam me with "WHAT?! you're not going C2D?!?! Price vs. Performance, DUDE!"...I've heard it 1000x, and I guess I'm too much of an AMD fanboy to let go. | |

| I'm not into AMD at the moment but I would choose the Biostar as a last resort. If I was looking for budget that DFI Zaltan linked would surely be my pick. DFI and AMD are usually always a Great Match :-) + rep Zaltan if the system will let me :-) | ||
