I am considering a Athlon64 3500+ chip but I need help choosing a motherboard. Is the Asus A8V deluxe any good or am I better off with an MSI K8N Neo Platinum? I am an intel convert so I need some help.

Thanks

these are the 3 new egg is now listing.

I don't remember what msi's board name is for 939 but the k8n neo plat is a socket 754 board. I don't know buddy, 939 seems like a lot more money for not much more performance. Have you considered a 3200+ for 754? That and the msi board you mentioned would be almost $300 cheaper than a64 3500+ 939 and one of the few mobos out for it at this point. Plus it is a tried and tested platform with nvidia chipset.

Socket 939 is too expensive at this momemnt.

Go for A64 3200+ (2.2 GHz, 512k L2 cache) and MSI K8N Neo Platinum. You'll have practically equal performance for much less money. And you're getting a better mobo

I just put the following system together:

AMD Athallon 64Fx-53
Asus A8V Deluxe VIA K8T800 Pro Chipset ATX AMD MB
1 Gig of OCZ 3500 unbuffered Ram
2 Western Digital 74 Gig Raptors in Raid 0
DVD ASUS 16X DVD
DVD+/-RW PLEXTOR|PX-712A
CPU FAN SPIRE|SP703C3-1 KK3 AMD
Cooler Master Wave Master Case with 480 watt power supply.
M-Audio Revolution sound card

Still waiting on my X800XT PE, if I can find one.

I found the ASUS board to be marvelous. Easiest bios setup I've ever seen, upgradable even witout a OS on board, rock solid, supports a ton of system tweaking and monitoring and I got it cheap on Ebay. Can't ask anymore than that.
