Well i am looking for a mobo with 5.1 audio, needs a AGP x8 with the PCI slots, want 4gb max for memory, Nforce3 atleast if not better, and ethernet. With 939-pin of course.

I checked out the ASUS A8V Deluxe now the chipsets are different and proble not that big of a deal but is the nforce and the chipset on the asus K8T800Pro + VT8237 going to make a real big difference? And the audio 5.1 on the gigabyte and the asus has the realtek will this make any big difference. Other then that the asus has everything that the gigabye has to offer.
