[jodechuk@gotadsl]

which of these two motherboards boards would you go for on a core 2 duo system


Asus P5L 1394 or MSI P965 neo-f

Anything from Asus will pretty much smack anything from MSI silly.

usually, but i'd be skeptical of buying any ASUS products lately... they seem to be having problems with their reliability...

of the 2, i would suggest the ASUS though...

I agree that Asus has been having their issues. Thankfully they're not near as bas as MSI's though.

good point...

P965 SUCKS!!! It is very bad JMicron and it is a bad overclocker.

There's is a much more stable MSI board that came out recently with the 975 chipset. Here's a link to it from Tom's Hardware: CLICK

And here is a link to it on newegg (open box, it's cheaper): CLICK
