ZMAX:SFF shuttle like case, but not much expansion of course.
DK8X: AMD 81xx chipset with the AGP bridge.
DK8N: NF4 chipset, a lot like the DK8X.
DK8ES: NF4 SLI board, don't think its out yet.
Mustanley said:The DK8N uses the NF3 250 chipset. I'm looking at this for a pair of Opteron 246s. Anyone know anything about this board? It's twice as much as the cheaper dualie Opteron boards, I guess due to the NF3 chipset. Is the NF3 chipset worth it over the AMD and VIA dualie chipsets?
