Anandtech recommends the Epox 8KDA3+ which is Nforce3 250gb chipset. And that's not a bad recommendation. It doesn't necessarily mean that one is better than the other, though. I see outrageous claims all the time like "AMD SUCKS" or "AMD ROCKS" or "VIA SUCKS". Claims like that are clearly based on ignorance. For the most part, AMD is usually a better deal than Intel, but I'm open-minded enough to build Intel if it's a better value for what I'm trying to accomplish. Same with via . . . I know there are better chipsets available, but that doesn't necessarily mean there is anything wrong with via. My own primary system is an nforce2, but I just built a via chipset system for a friend of mine, and I'm tempted to steal it. It's THAT good. Nobody is doing anybody any favors by steering them away from via. Any system you build with via will work great, as long as you don't make the common errors that many builders make, such as cheap power supply, no-name RAM, etc. In short, if you don't like via, learn to build a good system. If you don't learn to build a good system, don't blame the chipset (or the CPU or the video card or the ???) for your problems. -Dave |
