Hey guys,

Im looking for a s939 upgrade for my system. I have always used ASUS in the past, and I have no intrest in going SLI in the future so, this is a board I am thinking of..

I am mostly a gamer, but not a big overclocker. So, is this a good mobo to get? If not, please suggest another..

I have already ruled out the DFI lanparty (seems like too much to deal with for the non-overclocker).. Any other suggestions would be great, thanks!

Oh, here's the setup that its going with:

AMD 64 +3200(Win)
Corsair XMS DDR400
FS 500w PS
ATI X800XL

Thanks for the help...
 
My cousin got one, works good so far, but doesnt have Firewire integrated if you need it.

Wusy recommended this one: EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra and it looks like it has a lot of features including 2x 1394a SATA2 and a lower price than the A8N.

The ASUS should be good also. I have a K8V SE Deluxe and it works great (even with the VIA chipset).
 
That would be my second choice. My first choice would be <A HREF="http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127197" target="_new">http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127197</A>
