    What's the best 939 OCing AGP board???

    Just woundering what you extremist think the best bet for a 939 agp board is to go with a venice. I'am not ready for sli or pci-x just yet so I'am going to stick with agp for alittle while longer.

    I had Neo2
    But I think mine was a defective sample
    Sometimes I lost the overclocking power
    A setting was good and rock solid, and then later it wasnt. I suspected the vdimm fluctuation, cause I got strange readings with a multimeter.

    Then it started not working at stock settings, and would play dead. If i wait next day, the board would work for 1 hour or more. Really strange problems, anyway I got rid of the board and the problems, the other hardware parts were always ok.

    Neo2 should be a good board, many had good experiences with it.

    The Epox seems OK according to a post in this thread by VoG.

    Indeed if you read his post, it seems similar to the MSI.

    I suppose the advantage of the MSI is the fan base it has, that has given rise to many modded BIOS's tweaks etc.

    Start here with the MSI tweaks.
