I'm thinking of buying the Msi K7N2G-L, Asus a7v8x-x , or Abit at7 (not max2-costs too much for me). I've got a 2400+ cpu . My budget for a Mb is $70 for a brand new retail boxed MB- Not oem. I plan on buying the Corsair xms series. Would appreciate any suggestions on which MB to buy- even if not one of those 3. And any known issues with them. Thanks alot guys ahead of time .

 

eh?

I would go with 8rda+ too... my A7V8X kicked *** but it can't compete with an nForce2 board. Even if you have 1 stick it's still a faster chipset and you get better than Audigy 5.1 sound, pci and agp lock, alot of options kt400 doesnt have.

Thx q149 . Quick question, does the new nforce 2 ultra 400 support dual channel ddr?? Cause I've been reading it doesn't, unless I misread it.
