1700 Thoroughbred from Newegg, Coolermaster Aero 7+, What board?
Well I have made my purchase, and the winner is...
Asus A7N8X Deluxe ver2.00 for $119. I want to thank all of you for your input. I greatly appreciate all the insight I took from your responses. "Shap" wrote in message ... OK, I have been researching this for almost two months now, and I'm finally approaching the day of deliverance. I have a comp show to goto next Saturday, where I will be making a large # of purchases toward building a new system. I have a 1700+ I got from a friend and I also ordered the Aero 7+. Now I need to decide on a board. I have somewhat narrowed my choices to the Asus a7n8x deluxe ver 2.0 or the Abit nf7-s ver 2.0. I do not want onboard video, as I want the ability to easily change video options as I develop needs. So which do I go with? I am not really ready to overclock yet, but would like to later on with out changing hardware. I will be running 2 PATA Maxtor 80gig drives in raid 0, I have a CDRW, DVD-Rom, and will be adding a DVDRW before the end of the year. I also have a large number of USB devices - keyboard, mouse, printer, Scanner, IrDA dongle so I need a board that USB is a near slam dunk on. Firewire isn't a must, but it would be nice to expand to later on. Please help. |
