K7N2 Delta2-LSR or KT880 Delta-LSR

Hi,

I`m considering buying either of these mb`s for a budget gaming system
upgrade and would like some recommendations from existing users. I`ve
checked out some of the online reviews, most of which are now months
old. Is the nforce or the via chipset generally regarded as the best
for performance and stability, or does it just come down to a choice
of features?

Also, I really need to know if these boards support 2 floppy drives on
the FDD controller, or only 1. I`d really appreciate a definate answer
to this from someone who has one of these boards as I have a real need
for 2 floppy drives. Some websites say they support 2 and some say
only 1.

Thanks for any feedback on these questions.

Thanks Bazza, do you know if it supports 2 floppy drives, either by
looking in the bios options or by trying one?

Cheers.

Thanks again, but I went and bought the MSI KT880 Delta LSR and I`m
happy with it, good board.
