Asus or Abit

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt (More info?)

Looking to build a new system. This will only be my second build. My first
was two years ago, which I am still using. It is Abit KT7A (MB) with an AMD
Athlon 1200 MHz.



I can't decide which MB to go with, an Asus (A8V) or an Abit (AV8). Any
suggestions-pros or cons either way-from current users would be appreciated.

Get an Abit NF7-S 2.0 and plonk a mobile 2500 Barton in it and run it
at 2.5ghz thats what i did.

Or go an AMD 64 2800 or higher.

AV8 & A8V are both socket 939.which means minimum AMD64 3500+.

Both supposed to be good boards so i can understand OPs dilemma .
If you go ASUS make sure to get a Rev. 2.
