Well, I have the msi, but I wouldn't suggest anyone buy one. If I could make this choice again I'd get one ot the 2 Epox boards.

do u know if the epox board is the best in performance what is the model # and wat chipset is on it

Here is a link to the 2 boards I mentioned. They both use the nf3 ultra chipset.

Overclocking is a crap shoot and a lot depends on the individual board that you get. Someone else can get a Gigabyte or an MSI and overclock higher if they are lucky with the board they purchased, but odds wise I think they are the best with the Epox. Thet certainly have better bios support. One thing they dob't have is the ability to use the OCZ booster, so if you had any plans of using that then they are not a good choice. My board will not hit 300fsb and many Epox boards will. Please don't go on my opinion as there are many other ones out there. I can only tell you mine. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Mate,

I wouldn't hesistate to say that the ASUS A8V Deluxe (Rev 2.00) is an excellent, solid choice. That's the board I'm using ATM and it has given me no problems so far! Initially ASUS had few problems with the BIOS, but their latest ones since 1009 have been excellent. (These problems only affected the 90nm Winchesters, infact all MoBo makers had these problems).

Well, I do not have any first hand knowlege as I have the MSI, but I would suggest you look over the Epox board here at the this forum. I have seen people reporting fsb's of 350 over there.
Also here is an older link that talks about the pros and cons of various nf3 939 boards.

Good luck with it.

No offense man but proofread what you type, its a pain in the *** to read what you type. And you dont need to mention "benchies would be nice" on every post. Every single board with 939 will perform well I can guarantee you. There might be slight differences, but if you are looking for an agp board I would suggest epox as they still seem to a be a solid board
