they both suck, if you have to go with the msi. expect problems if you do not match it with the right ram. Check forums/reviews for the best match of ram/mb/video card

Check out the Soltek 75FRN2-L or the Asus A7N8X. Both excellent boards.

Also look into the Epox EP-8RDA or the EP-8RDA+, as well as the Abit NF7 or NF7-S

If I were building right now, I would go with the Soltek line of Nforce2 boards as posted above. They seem to be a great value, ie, Asus quality at a much lower price. My son has an Asus A7N8X and it's a great board but from what I've hear from Morriswingate and others, the Soltek is just as good for less $$.
The Abit and Epox boards are good choices too.

I prefer the nForce2 chipset, but there are people here that will swear by the VIA KT chipset as well.

I'd take the Soltek 75FRN2-L (nforce) , or the MSI KT4V-L (kt400) over the Albatron, or the other MSI any day.
I'd probably choose the Soltek over the A7N8X right now, if it had to be an nforce chipset. |
