Default ASUS vs. XFX

For my next rig, I plan on having an AMD (nForce2 obviously)
But I cant decide to go with the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe, with its rooted reliability and performance; or the XFX Mach4.
I cant find ANY reviews for the XFX but because of the reliable chipset, and SEXY PCB (See Pic) , I cant see how I can go wrong...
Should I get the XFX and if I see I'm getting sub-average performace, RMA it for the ASUS?

We ALL have to support the new and small companies...(remember 3Dfx and nVidia?)

Sorry man, but its kinda cheap to RMA a working board.

Anyways, why dont you go with something like an Abit NF7? Thats got a "sexy" red pcb. Or the GigaByte GA-7N400Pro. Those both have great color combinations and performance.

One thing to consider from a practical point of view - does the XFX have mounting holes for a heatsink/waterblock? I can't see any in the pic.

The 800U will fit just fine on that Asus mobo (that's what I have). Everybody seems to favor Abit NF7 lately though.
