MSI Neo2 is a great overclocking agp mobo. DFI I heard is coming out with a NF3 socket 939 board though soon with agp. End of April I believe I heard.

The definitive AGP 939 board...basically what the DFI Ultra-D is for PCI-E...would be the MSI Neo2 Plat. Almost EVERYONE had it on nf3 and broke many records with it, meaning its the one that's been proven to do well.

But the Av8 3rd eye isnt bad either, it has amazing features. Why u dont u share with us some of your results (or a link to them). THat would help.

Have you yourself seen any issues with the board ??

EDIT: Dang !! Jumanji beat me to it ;) So I basically second the MSI neo2 plat.

Yes it is!

And for me, I was worth selling my AGP card to PCI-E to switch from a MSI NEO2 Plat to a DFI NF4 Ultra-D.

Why not see what your current mobo can do first?

And i wouldn't hold your breath on DFI's Nforce 3, probly ages away.

Did Nforce 4 just add pci-e support?

A curious question u have there, d3birth, considering we knew last year that all nf4 mobos are pci-e and that's exactly what nf4 is: a PCI-E refresh of nf3 250GB with some major improvements like SATAII (ultra models only), etc.

But here's the low down on THE best:

AGP: MSI K8N Neo2 plat (once u get problems out of the way :rolleyes:
PCI-E: Abit AX8...rofl no....Its the DFI NF4 Ultra-D

Np, d3b, though it used to be alot less complicated back then...everyone had a 2500+ mobile :D and amazingly high OCs from stock were common, unlike now...but maybe the Venice will change that :rolleyes:

Errr, I ask for some little explanation...

Why the heck does everybody seem to drool and wait for the nF3 S939 when you allready have nF4 S939 :stick:
