dont kno about the chipset on that one

is it better if it has the pci express and no agp? i heard that it was faster than the agp slot..

also is the performance increase from the +3000 939 to the +3200, that great? worth the extra bucks? there only 20USD apart...
 
If you want to go PCI-E and keep the budget low I would recommend this MSI nforce 4 motherboard

MSI a good company and the nforce 4 chipset alot better then a via chipset.

I dont know if $104 more then you want to spend but if it not to much then a decent option if you want AGP is.

There a MSI nforce 3 ultra also that would be idear but that cost $130 and you would proberly be fine with the gigibyte.

PCI-E VS AGP really does not make a big difference right now. PCI-E will replace AGP completly some place in the future thoe most likly. Just make sure you get a motherboard that matches the one you choose.
 
yea, i'd probaly be happy with the MSI K8N, but what do you guys think of the cheap chaintech that i picked out, cause then i would have more money to spend on the proc, it looks pretty good but i just dont know about the chipset ULi?
 
ULi is generally not a North American available chipset and it was/is designed to be a budget oreinted competitor to the NF4. Ive not yet gotten my hands on a ULi board (will have a few in August) but assuming they are well constructed they are better than Via based board IMO. What;s your budget?
 
i would prefer around $80 but it can possibly go up to $120,
if the uli chip is the competitor to the nf4 then i guess its a good chip rite?

Edit: Hey, is that asus that you have a good board?

If you note my wording,

Its a budget version and while i have no quarrels with it specifically, it's no NF4

No. I hate the damn thing.
 
Ok.. i guess ill go with the Chaintech, it's pretty cheap anyway, ill prolly sell it and upgrade later on to a good board...
