Re: [H] Again - Best Motherboard - Looking for Recs
The only roundup on Anandtech mentioned the DFI Lanparty as tops with the MSI Neo4 close behind. I hesitate to use DFI since we had some of their computers at PMSNA when I was there. POS every one of them. But as we' ve noticed, things change.

built a DFI Lanparty for a friend, turned out very nice but was not able to run dual channel mode until the latest bios flash.

Re: [H] Again - Best Motherboard - Looking for Recs
There's this engineer that was mainly responsible for Abit's greatest past OC'ing boards that left and is now a big shot @ DFI. Forget his name but he's somewhat famous in online community. My next mobo will be DFI. @:) Steve Tomporowski wrote: The only roundup on Anandtech mentioned the DFI Lanparty as tops with the MSI Neo4 close behind.

Re: [H] Again - Best Motherboard - Looking for Recs
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxeseems to be the preferred model. PC Gamer used it recently in it's recentpicture-book "how to build a PC" article. Many folks seem to recommend it on Anand's forum as well. I plan to buy it when I do my upgrade soon. - Original Message - From: Steve Tomporowski To: The Hardware List Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 5:56 AM Subject: [H] Again - Best Motherboard - Looking for Recs It's time for an upgrade and I'm looking into AMD motherboards.
