Hi,

Here are some components already chosen of my future computer

AMD Athlon 3200+ (939)
Videocard will be a 6800 GT

My budget is very limited
I do not do any overclocking
I do not need SLI.

I have to choose (our computer store do not have great choice) between a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum or ASUS A8N-SLI (the premium and deluxe A8N deluxe are too expensive for me)

So what would be the more stable, less noisy, more reliable mobo ? Is there some problems with the fans, etc. ? The "Ultimate motherboard selection guide", on the anandtech forum is not very kind on this A8N... With reason or not ?

Thanks

I have a Platinum and it is excellently stable. The best thing about it is that it has a SB Live! 24 bit which is much better the AC850. It overclocks well but I don't really overclock.

Only the SLI version of the K8n Neo4 Plat uses the SBLive. The non-SLI version uses the realtek ALC850. Still, it's a very solid board.
