I've decided to buy an Athlon 64 3200+, but I can't decide on a motherboard. I prefer abit, but I can't chose. How big is the difference if it's 1600 mhz or 2000? Also, why do many of them only have 2x DDR Ram?

I can't figure out the difference between the ABIT KV8 Pro-3rd Eye and the ABIT KV8 Pro v1.1. Does anyone have any experience with these boards? I read that someone had problems with 2x Samsung 512 DDR Ram and this board.

Is the regular KV8 better? It costs about the same, has one more DDR Ram, and looks fancier :)
 
I must say that I am a bit disapointed. I simply search for ABIT on Google. By the way, the ABIT website is a really great place to check for the ABIT mobo specs! :smile:

Here is the difference :
