what is the best mobo for socket 939?
 

Hi, I want to get a new system: mobo/cpu/ram. I am thinking socket 939. I am
still deciding what system to get as a result of my old system dying
(a7v133/1ghzTbird). Asus A8V Deluxe? Abit A8V? Are there even reviews
comparing the 2 mobos side-by-side?

I am currently using a backup system so I have time to wait. Is it good to
get into socket939 now? Maybe i should wait for another few months as prices
are high and socket 939 board revisions are in the early stage.

cheers,
quasar

Thanks for that! A great review. So MSI neo2 is the clear winner.

If you don't need one now, then wait. Prices will always fall, and it
doesn't take long in this field.

Exactly. While you are waiting for the price on something to fall, a new thing
will come out, then you will wait for the price of the new thing to fall. There is

no end to this.
