Well, the Biostar has a pci-express expansion and an XGP, which gives support for a limited number of AGP cards. Whilst the ASUS has 2 pci-express slots, meaning you can sli them together for better performance.

So the question id ask you is do you have a pci-express or AGP graphics card?

pci express

its a nvidia 6600 256 mb pci express... im buying it all new soon.. and im trying to make my mind up on it.. though trying to stay under 1000

option 2 is good, you dont realy need 2gb of ram anyways 1.5GB is plenty fine

Thanks.. thats what I was more leaning toward anyways.. Im going to be using it for internet gaming so i wanted a decent system..

Samurai Game case w/ 600w Power supply
Asus A8nsli Nforce4 sli ATx socket 939 mobo
Athlon 64 3500+
1.5g of ddr ram
80 gb SATA hard drive 7200rpm w/ 8mb cache
Nvidia 6600 Pci Express 256mb

Look good enough?
