There are quite a few sites that have reviews from different perspectives. Do a Google for motherboards. Tom's Hardware is just one of several: www.tomshardware.com |

Yeah did that and only real difference was that the Nvidia has a firewall
where as the other (Via and SiS) dont. "Dee" wrote in message ...

"Mac Cool" wrote in message ... Nvidia -- Mac Cool That is the short answer. If you over clock, the Via K8T800 chip lacks a pci/agp lock. The K8T800 PRO has the lock as does the nforce3 250 gb boards. Something you might want to check into. This was the reason I chose to use the Nvidia chip boards. I used the DFI board for oc'ers. That was then, but now I have left the 754 socket interface. YMMV. |
