Ok, I am gonna get a A64 3200+ I am very stuck between the best board out. I want STABILITY,features, OVERCLOCKABILITY! I need these factors. I just want to have the best. I want speed and power. I have narrowed it down to these 2 boards. Which is best. I am selling my watercooling buyn this so I will be on stock cooling so help me out!
Shuttle
DFi LanParty UT | Athlon 64 3700+ | 1gb Mushkin Black Lvl 2 PC3500 | ATi Radeon X800XT-PE
LOL! Finally a response....Thanx man..Anymore?(I would like 50 plus responses
outta those two the shuttle no doubt with that chip and overclockability being wanted. Though, what gfx card are you using/buying, if ati that only reinforces the need for the nf3 board IMHO(though i heard one thread the 9800xt is a little less sensitive to agp bus than the 9700/9800pro). Nvidia you might get away with decent clocks on the via.
Dunno if mickey is getting a replacement shuttle for the one he jsut killed, but if he does could be worth waiting as someone else thought the gigabyte k8n pro was 500 points faster in 2k1, which is significant. Mickeys used teh k8n pro so if he plays with the shuttle he may find out. A lotta people do really like the k8n pro, high orb positions, decent bundle, options.

Without any doubt ...go with the Shuttle AN50R
Yep. Another vote for the shuttle here.
Shuttle definitely..... i can't find it anywhere in the UK so I had to go for the Chaintech.... but if i cud get it... i'd def have the Shuttle

Shuttle
dammit, i've jsut persauded myself that buying a replacement 2500+ would be a waste while i can get a 3000+ ath 64 for only £100 more(i'm VERY easily persuaded, don't ask what i have on the way). THinking sell nf7 and buy a cheapish ath 64 board for now.
Sorry, the dammit i started with was i can't find the shuttle board in the uk either, :@ chaintech is too much and i already have a gigabyte so seems silly to get another identical board. Also sounds like the nf3 250 might be round the corner(very close corner) so dunno if i should wait.

Well should I get the Gigabyte K8N Pro over the Shuttle? I have a 9800P so i'm thinking the MSI wouldnt overclock for crap...Also I can't wait
Yeah, you should get a nF3 with that card.
get the shuttle like i told you on AIM.
LOL you were right Dris....looks liek the best
