nForce2: Asus or MSI?

[FallOutBoyTonto]

I can't decide between Asus A7N8X Deluxe or MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR. I've been an Asus fan for a while but MSI is starting to turn my head. All I'm looking for is the best performance. I could use a second opinion.

F.Y.I. - I will be using dual DDR, SATA RAID, and 6-channel audio; so put that into consideration when deciding which has best performance.

MSI=Fastest nForce2, Asus comes in second; you want the best performance than MSI is the one.

Go for MSI. MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR is faster and have less problems compared to ASUS.

What about the Abit NF7-S?

Just a computer junky

Not better than MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR

Have you used it?

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

Used which?

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR is faster and have less problems compaired to ASUS

The only thing is that <A HREF="http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/" target="_new"> nForcersHQ Forum</A> for MSI has a sticky for memory problems and the Asus board doesn't have that. I'm kinda worried I might have RAM problems if I go for MSI.

Abit NF7-S.

In this forum, lots of people bought ASUS A7N8X Deluxe. Many of them had lots of problems. Now nForce2 buyers in this forum is buying MSI K7N2 series boards, not much problem with them

Yeah, in fact Asus A7N8X Deluxe is the one of the best seller of nForce2 mobo. Although I do not face any problem and like the performance of my A7N8X Deluxe, I would say get MSI if you really want performance.

I say Asus A7N8X Deluxe. MSI if you are looking for a cheap alternative price-wise.
