hello,

I was woundering is this m/b good for a gaming board, I am not going to oc, I just need a good reliable pci-e board.
MSI K8n Neo4 Platinum/SLI Nforce 4 S939 PCI-E Dual DDR 400 ?

This board are as good or better than the MSI but <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136152" target="_new">cheaper</A>
and <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813123236" target="_new">cheapest</A>
Also the Epox has more total slots and includes round cables for the hard drives.
The MSI has 1 PCIe X 16, 1 PCIe X 1, and 4 PCI.
The Epox has 1 PCIe X 16, 3 PCIe X 3, and 3 PCI.

The Epox and the DFI are overclocker boards, but that's not a bad thing. If those boards can take the stress added in OC they surely can run stable at stock speeds.

Yes I think so.
These are the slots for the newegg board I couldn't compare it with the UK site because it doesn't the complete info.
PCI-E x16 2
PCI-E x1 1
PCI Slots 2
Other Slots 1x PCI-Ex4
