    What kind of Motherboard do you guys have?

    Hi.
    I'm still deciding which motherboards i should go with and need some suggestion.
    I'm looking for the most reliable motherboard that can hold these in firm condition
    ..
    AMD 64 4000+ sandi socket 939
    Corsair XMS 2GB (2x1GB) DDR 400(PC3200)
    Hitachi 250GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gb HD
    Sony Dual Layer DVD/RW 16X
    ATI Radeon X800xl PCI E
    Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS PCI
    Antec Truepower 550W Power supply

    I was looking to get Asus SLI Premium nForce4 Motherboard but I heard its very unstable.

    Any recommendation is welcome
    thanks guys:)

    I just purchased a DFI SLI-DR mobo and still waiting for my AMD 4000+. I was in your position on which mobo to get, but i decided on the DFI.

                  First question is, do you wanna oc? If yes, then the dfi board is the best out there. If no, then I'd look into an asus or msi board.

                    Yeah I agree, if you're not gonna OC... you are wasting money on the DFI board, it doesn't like value ram too much, and is very picky with PSUs. Also it comes with a bunch of useless stuff, that maybe useful to enthusiast users only. A lan carying case, sleeving kit (with no tools), and other junk.

                      ^^ Well said! But I think the DFI UT LanParty series don't come w/ all that junk.. right?

                        DFI Lanparty is ideally for overclockers. If you're not an overclocker, and you buy that, then you have no right to complain about it since its made for overclockers. Same goes for the BIOS; Its an overclocker's BIOS.

                        MSI K8N Neo4-F for non-overclockers and overclockers alike.

                          Got an EVGA SLI board that I got for free w/ my GFX card. I was pleasantly suprised at it's overclocking ability, however if your not getting it for free I woudn't reccomend it, as there are better ones for the money.

                              How much more for the Asus Premium? I heard the fan on the chipset for the Deluxe go bad after a couple of months. Plus the Premium has the heat pipe.
