Need help choosing MB fast for my San Diego

AEsnowboarding · Jul 27, 2005

I am going PCI Express and wondering what board to get that will work out of the box with my San Diego.

I was looking at the MSI Neo4, DFI ULtra, or something else.

I don't need SLI and I don't want to have to mess with the BIOS to get it stable. Can anyone help me out real fast like? Price limit is around 140. My FSB will run at 240 because my ram is limiting me.

DFI ultra D $129 at the egg.

Thats what I was thinking too. Are the 3/10 and 6/23 bioses pretty stable? I have it in my cart and ready to order. Should I do it?

yeah the BIOS's are fine, it's really picky with high latency RAM but your Mushkin will be fine, ORDER IT NOW!

They are very stable, just be prepared to tweak it or read the BIOS settings stability thread to look for a starting point to overclock.

If you don't want to mess around with BIOS settings to get a good overclock/stability than avoid the DFI. Although i personally love the board for overclocking, i wouldn't reccomend it to someone that doesn't want/need the added BIOS features/control. Other NF4 board would probably be more stable for daily use without any heavy overclocking.

Done. If anything it should be a good experience. I also just ordered a Connected 3D X800XL to go with it.

Great choice, if your gonna overclock, there is no better board than DFI.
