I'm about to upgrade my motherboard and cpu but i can't decide between these two motherboards, ASUS A8V DELUXE WIRELESS, or a, EPoX 9NDA3 S939 nForce3 Ultra.My setup will be,
1G of Kingmax DDR PC-4000
Gainward 6800GT Golden Sample (AGP)
450W PSU
AMD 64 3500
I would just like some second opinions on which one to get as they both use different chipsets and I want to make the right choice for my uprade.
 
Go with the Epox or any board with an nVidia chipset - nVidia has the best chipset for s939.

The + are nicer, but if the plain jane has what he wants and needs, then it is the best choice for him.

Benk: What will you be using the system to do? Wil you be overclocking?

LOL - don't you mean MSI? I bet that less than 10% of the people with PORT80 really use it. Everyone wishes for it when troubleshooting and it IS a great feature, but it isn't a necessity.

to me, a motherboard with full option to debug is rather scary... If the motherboard is good, shouldnt it post and boot at first time...like all my Soltek or the 2 Gigabyte I did setup? So what's the need for a port 80. Oh..overclocking! yeah. But that is a minority that use it, as you said.
