90nm AMD s939 Mobo's

[ginnerpip]

Is it just me, or arent there many out there.

I'm looking for a motherboard, which supports the new 90nm technology of the CPU, on a socket 939, motherboard.

In my many ventures i have found only one is from abit, the AV8, or AV8 3rd eye, but i have heard (and backed up by there own forums), that there a bugger to overclock.

Is there any more out there???

yes; there's a ton more out there.

What is your budget?

I would highly recommend an nf4 cipset, but if it's too expensive for ya, take a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, those are monsters at OCing
If you haven't already bought your system; I would take a nf4SLI mobo with a 6600GT or wait for the x800xl

how about an nf4ultra mobo and a pci-express x800xl which is cheaper and faster than a 6800GT

if you get a mobo with sli, can you opt for a single vid card and later add another?

thanks

I thought it was decided that the 6800GT is the fastest out there. Whats this x800xl talk now? I've been out of the loop since Christmas (been waiting for single slot nforce 4 pci-express for socket 939 since then) so I don't know what's been happening since then. Fill me in!

[nwo75200]

the x800xl was made to compete with the 6800 because of it's $299 MSRP, but it absolutely owns the 6800 vanilla and comes very close, and in some cases it outpaces the 6800GT PCI-e which is retailing for over $450 atm. The x800xl is out, and the cheapest one is currently around $380 because the card only came out last week. They should drop another 50 bucks or more by the end of this month or whenever more mfrs. decide to ship their models.

That should be enough
