VIA based AMD64 (Socket754) Motherboards <100$US

[TheRod]

- Chaintech SK8T800 (80$US)
- Gigabyte GA-K8VT800M (89$US)
- MSI K8T NEO-FSR (92$US)
- Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 (95$US)
- Albatron K8X800 Pro (97$US)
(Prices form newegg.com)

I try to figure out which one would be the best buy. They all feature SATA. I would personally buy the MSI because it has GigE Ethernet and it’s only 3$ higher than the Gigabyte without GigE. Or the Chaintech for low cost, because who really needs GigE lan for home/internet use?

Do you agree with my choice, or is there something I have missed?
