Hey guys,

Im looking for a s939 upgrade for my system. I have always used ASUS in the past, and I have no intrest in going SLI in the future so, this is a board I am thinking of..

I am mostly a gamer, but not a big overclocker. So, is this a good mobo to get? If not, please suggest another..

I have already ruled out the DFI lanparty (seems like too much to deal with for the non-overclocker).. Any other suggestions would be great, thanks!

Oh, here's the setup that its going with:

AMD 64 +3200(Win)
Corsair XMS DDR400
FS 500w PS
ATI X800XL

Thanks for the help...

Wusy recommended this one: EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra and it looks like it has a lot of features including 2x 1394a SATA2 and a lower price than the A8N.
Here's the link: <A HREF="http:// www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813123236 " target="_new">http:// www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813123236 </A>.
The ASUS should be good also. I have a K8V SE Deluxe and it works great (even with the VIA chipset).

That would be my second choice. My first choice would be <A HREF="http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127197" target="_new">http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127197</A>
