AOpen AK79D/G Sound
Not trying to start a religous war...
(but) I've been looking at the Asus A7N8X Deluxe board, but my supplier doesn't carry it. Which means either change suppliers or change the board. This guy is a AOpen reseller. Looking at the Aopen site suggests the AK79D or AK79G series as possible alternatives. What is the difference between the two series? I'm looking at running an athlon 2600+ at 333MhZ FSB, but will probably upgrade when the 400MhZ FSB chips drop. What is the sound like on these Aopen boards? (Given that I want to run a line out to my JBL Amp and Speakers and use it for Home Theatre). Finally, any comments (religous or otherwise) on the relative merits between the Asus A7N8X Deluxe, The AOpen boards mentioned above and the Abit NF7-S? Thanks Matt |

The difference between the AK79D and AK79G is that the G model comes with
onboard GF4 MX video. The G is for Graphics. The D stands for discrete, meaning you must install a separate video card. If you are a overclocker or enthusiast then don't get the Aopen. The Asus and the Abit are feature rich and come with a lot of overclocking options. If you get the Asus rev2 or the newer version Abit then 400 mhz fsb is guaranteed. Don't even think about it with the Aopen. Dave "Schmuck" wrote in message om... Not trying to start a religous war...
