MSI K8N Neo4 vs. Asus A8N-SLI

[roamdog]

I thought that I had dug out all my old parts and just bought the things needed to finish out a build. But no. Now I see that I have not one but two 939 motherboards. I want to use up all my old parts, but really hesitate to build two obsolete systems. So, between the MSI K8N Neo4 and Asus A8N-SLI which is better? And why?

I have the K8N-Neo 4 SLI Platinum, ASUS A8N-SLI and the ASUS A8N32-SLI running currently. I use the systems all the time. The ASUS boards are far better period. The only thing the MSI K8N-NF4 has that is 'better' is the onboard 24 bit Soundblaster Live! chip. I have an A8N32-SLI Deluxe/4800X2 dual core/2 x 1Gb OCZ PC32 Platinum/2 x 7900GT that still performs great. I'm using it now to type this at the office. Also A8N-SLI/AMD FX 55/4 x 512 Crucial ballistic PC4000/2x 7600GT is still a very usable and fast system. I'll use it tomorrow at the other office . MSI K8N NF4 SLI I recently threw together and plan to use as a preliminary home server. I'll make some modifications as situations dictate , but currently K8N NF4 SLI Paltinum/AMD 64 3800+/Radeon 1800XT/2 x 512 Corsair XMS 3200. I prefer the two ASUS boards in every way. I like the ASUS AM BIOS and tweak the systems all the time and have a lot of fun wth them. Not so on the MSI NF4 board. It is very flakey and will not under any circumstance run 4 DIMMs of RAM. I'm stuck at 2 Gbs with it.
