    Motherboard upgrade???

    Am getting a new mobo upgrade next week, have been browsing the net but there are so many that i dont know which to choose? Am gonna spend about £100 on one so any feed back would be helpful. I have a 3200+ Athlon socket 939 64 bit, was looking at the DFI lanparty?

    DFI lan party is only for people who want to OC and tweak. It has a million bios settings, has known incompatibilities with value ram and is generally more expensive than the competition. I wouldnt get it unless you want to deal with the above. (i know i do)

    Asus makes some nice boards, so does Asrock and epox. I dont know how pounds translate into dollars but your going to want an Nforce 4 ultra or SLi board.

      look into an epox, or a MSI or Asus. Those are all very good.

        Stay away from MSI.

        You are pretty much going to want an Asus board if you are just the average gamer who doesn't want alot of issues with your board.

          MSi boards seem to be I havent had too many, but from what I have heard ones like the k8n and stuff are good.
