which is better

The GA-K8nf has the nForce 4 chipset, but only supports up to an 800 mhz bus speed. The GA-K8ns has the nForce 3 ultra chipset, but supports up to a 1600mhz bus speed. It all depends on your processor.
 
is having the nforce4 chipset really going to make a huge difference compared to the nforce3 one though?

you can argue that about most single unit step ups, we takling about nf3 ultra vs n4 - in that case there is not much difference. nf4 ultra however is a better chipset still.

In a practical sense, they arent comparable as one is PCIE and the other AGP. On a more technical lvel, it can be argued the NF3 one is better as the OC capabilities are much more proven and doesnt have the fincky electrical issues of PCIE

Thats the same BUS speed btw.

Even NF3U and NF4U is arguable (and easily settled by the type of VC)
 
Because one passes the test for 1000Mhz, while the other may be oc,but isn't factory set to that.

Yes but the jump from 4x to 5x isnt all that noticeable ... hell... most people wont notice a jump from 1x to 5x.
