Best 754 Mobo?

[Koka]

I'm looking for the best ASUS motherboard to go with my AMD 64 3200+ (512mb l2 cache. socket 754). I was thinkin about the K8V SE DE. Is it good or bad? Any other recommendations? thanks in advance guys. BTW price isnt a big deal im already wasting alot of money. Why not waste a little more?

The K8N-E Deluxe is thier flagship board for s754.
We do like nforce chipsets here.

What makes the nForce 3 better than the K8V SE Deluxe? I know that people have their reasons and i would like to hear them. But thanks for the listing of another mobo il'll be sure to look into it some more. Koka

The nForce chipset in many cases performs better, and has better driver support.

There are a lot of reasons, but most come down to via problems. The one that keeps cropping up is via- soundblaster conflicts. They just dont play well together. I am used to reconfiguring so that it works, but it's a pain.
Most of the "AMD is crap because..." is a result of poor chipsets from via.
OCers use nforce because of the pci lock.
