Which motherboard is better???

[Beowulf]

Well i'm not sure if this is the right forum, but here we go:

Which mobo is better?

ASUS A7N8X Deluxe or ABIT NF7-S or EPOX EP-8RDA+

I have read the Specifications and are almost the same... But the Sound difference is too big???? 'Cause i will like to have a GOOD sound quality.

And in the other things, like the ports and things like that, are much difference????

Atm i had 2x Epox 8rda+'s and 2x NF7 (bouth rev 2 ). For oc'n i would go for the Abit, when you're not going to oc, take the asus.

// edit, they all have soundstorm onboard
//edit 2, the NF7-S has SATA, the others dont, for the rest there aint mutch difference

I would take Abit, especially when overclocking. It let's you use any multiplier from 5x to 20x. I think other boards only allow 5-12.5x or 13-20x (depending on processor used). I have heard reports of Epox 8RDA(+) boards breaking often...

I'm having great luck with my 8RDA+ board here. FAIK, the 8RDA+ allows you to use any multiplier you want if you have a Tbred/Barton. The newer 8RDA+ rev 2.0/2.1 officially supports 200Mhz FSB with DDR-400 memory.

I dont think you can really go wrong with any of those boards.

I've had very good experiences with the A7N8-X deluxe. It's a solid, fast performer with a lots of extras. I've had no problems with it.
