pila imong willing e spend ?

take your choice.

Asrock dual sata II - 4,200
The best S939 mobo with a AM2/3 future upgrade raiser card and has a real 8X agp and PCIe
this is the motherboard that i currently use and i have no problems going to 300FSB with this mobo.

Epox 9NPA3 / 9NPA3 SLI - about 6,500 tingali
A very good overclocking mobo built on a nforce4 chipset and can surely hit 300fsb anytime.

A8V-X - no idea on price but im sure its extremely cheap.
this mobo is a bear minimum for a s939 no fancy bling2x's just a single PCIe port.

A8N32-SLI - 14,500++
the ultimate nforce4-sli mobo from asus.. has dual 16x pcie slots and built for overclocking past 350fsb.

Notice i didnt include any ECS mobo's.. they arnt bad theres no reason to get them thats all.

hey earlz, what do you think about Asrock's AM2 ready 939NF4G-VSTA priced at 4150?

**tolstoi** · 08-03-2006, 12:09 AM

blade only wants a 939 mobo with AGP support..so ASROCK SATA 2 is a great choice.

@EarlZ and @tolstoi: thanks a lot bros for your inputs... greatly appreciated c",) c",) keep it up bros! (finally decided to try out amd...)

btw, budget is 10k tops... but if i can get low-cost boards, so much the better.

X-Fi??
Creative doesn't do Dolby Digital Live or DTS Connect ! It's one of the reasons why I returned the audigy i bought before. It only decodes pumps out digital signals for digital content. So only DVD movies and games with DD or DTS data are enjoyed through the SPDIF connection to my amplifier.

I'm looking for socket 939 mobo with real time DD or DTS encoding..anyone got any ideas?

hope you don't mind me crashing into your post, bai Blade. I just thought I might ride on this train since everyone all mobo-talk.
