| 629787 | 2008-01-12 19:54:00 | Yeah this asus board seems to be fan free and just uses heat sinks which is nice considering you don't have to worry about replacing fans. But this asus board is lacking in pci-e and the audio is less. But I guess I'm looking at this wrong because I see the asus board at 114 usd vs. the evga board at 159 usd and I'd naturally assume the 114 usd board must have less features, why else would it have a lower price. EVGA are known for good video cards, but I can't say alot for their motherboards. |

| 629790 | 2008-01-12 22:53:00 | If you are from New Zealand, why not source from NZ. It is alot cheaper. :) |

| 629791 | 2008-01-12 23:50:00 | If you are from New Zealand, why not source from NZ. It is alot cheaper. :) That may not be true with the current exchange rate. The US $ is taking a serious dump right now with gold hitting all-time highs. GB may just devalue the dollar or tie it in to the Mexican Peso and the Canadian dollar and call it the new "Continental"...that's the current rumor here. |
