Need help deciding on which mobo to use for my 1st build. Here are the choices..

EPoX EP-MF570SLI Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

I'll be using either a +3800 or +4200 AMD Windsor cpu. I was all set to get the ASUS because of the reputation it has ,but after reading up on the EPoX, I'm not so sure now. :confused:

btw, I know some of you guys prefer other boards, but I'm going to get one of these, so give some opinions on these 2 boards only, please. :D

I'd go with the ASUS. EPoX is made by ECS now and their quality control isn't the greatest. And in the past when I did build with EPoX 6 out of 6 builds ended up with motherboard problems. And this is when EPoX made their own motherboards. I've had way less trouble with ASUS motherboards.

Thanks for the quick reply! I guess my first instinct was right. ;)
