    Question K8N Neo Platinum vs K8NS Pro vs 8KDA3+

    I am going to get rid of my Intel stuff and get some A64 stuff again. Cpu will be 3200+ Newcastle and my memory sticks are 2x512 EB 3700 dualkit. The mobo will be Nforce3 250, but which one of these three?

    Msi looks like a solid option, but is there Vmem mod out yet?

    Epox looks very good, but how about those Vcore issues?

    K8NS pro looks ok, but you cant change the multiplier from the bios, which sucks ass.

    I think im going to get Msi, but would like to hear your opinions first. Oh and yes i am planning to overclock the out of my rig

    I love the MSI, works with my mobile. and fsb is stable for me to 300. But what i've seen of the DFI, i will be buying it the day i can. We all buy then upgrade later anyway.

    good luck with whatever your choice.


    Dont even ask where i've been!!!

    What's so special about the DFI board?
    A wiseman once said, "If Bible proves the existence of God, then comic books prove the existence of Superheros."

    Actually you can change the multiplier with a new bios, F2 or F3a... works atleast for me...
    I am running my 3200+(newcastle=11x200) @10x240MHz@1.55V....

    No bad words about this board, and the vdimm mod is very easy...

    i love epox. ive delt with their support and its A+

    ive never dealt with MSI support though i own a kt333 mobo from MSI and its solid.

    both those boards looks great, if i recall the epox was a little more willing to do huge FSB(htt, ht whatever)

    in the end flip a coin lol.
    Dell Studio XPS16... no desktop
    yes i have AIM, yes you can send me a message. EvilSpork3 i dare you.
