| 318188 | 2005-01-26 11:05:00 | I have a grx card already. It is the Albatron 128 mb GeForceFX-6600GT. I wonder if that is compatable. I have about a 200-300 price limit for the motherboard. |

| 318189 | 2005-01-26 12:50:00 | I would go gor the asus board you linked further up. On board wifi : cool : | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 318190 | 2005-01-26 21:09:00 | Never had a Gigabyte myself, but The Asus units I've had have all been brilliant, and a useful thing is how great Asus manuals are - proper English! | Greg (193) | ||
| 318191 | 2005-01-26 21:15:00 | Asus.............very reliable in my experience | drcspy (146) | ||
| 318192 | 2005-01-27 00:09:00 | Ok, Go with Asus. And the Asus A8V Deluxe? Does everyone think that it is ok? | Tribomb (5547) | ||
| 318193 | 2005-01-27 00:12:00 | I used to always buy Asus but after a run of bad motherboards and graphics cards, followed by a severe lack of support (Asus say you have to get support from the place you bought it from) I decided to dump Asus and moved to Gigabyte. I have never had any problems with gigabyte boards, they install windows first time with out errors (with asus I usually had to install a couple of times before it would work). Gigabyte seem to be very reliable and so far have not had any part fail, they are also cheaper as you aren't paying for the big asus brand name, yet I would say their quaility is as good if not better than asus. But this is just my opionion and understand that other may have different views. | Odin (227) | ||
| 318194 | 2005-01-27 00:21:00 | That makes things harder to decide :@@: | Tribomb (5547) | ||
| 318195 | 2005-01-27 00:30:00 | Asus, Gigabyte, Abit, are all good board manufacturers, any of which should serve you well. Get the one with the features you want for the money you want to pay. Look at the details of the spec's to sort the wheat from the chaff, do the research, ask, (as you have been doing), not all boards are created equally. If you get a bad one, it's very much the luck of the draw, it happens, although less so with the brands mentioned. |

| 318196 | 2005-01-27 01:11:00 | Ok, thanks . I will probably go for the A8V . I won’t be using WiFi but it is cheaper and it is fine for what I want I think . The other, more expensive, one will require me to get an even better graphics card and other different components . I wouldn’t use the features on that anyway . :D I will have the CPU and motherboard tomorrow . . . Time to build it!! :eek: And thanks everyone for you help so far!! You have all been great :thumbs: |
