After playing with the MSI K8N Diamond Plus (939 NF4 X16 chipset) I'd like to have one for my PC. Very fast very stable overclocking mobo but I like my A8N32-SLI Deluxe quite a bit, it's just very temperamental.

Yeah tis a good mobo, thank God for the CMOS button:p
NB fan{heat pipe} could be quieter;)

I wish the ASUS had the CMOS button, it's so prone to BIOS failures it's not even remotely funny. If I adjust the cas latencies of my board from say 2-3-2-6 to 3-4-4-8 for instance, it won't reboot upon finishing and I'll have to clear the CMOS. Instead I have to adjust one setting at a time and reboot after I make a change.

At points I feel like throwing the board against the wall over that since I have to pull the vid card (running SLI) to get to the CMOS jumper, they put the stupid thing under the release lever for the bottom PCI-e 16 slot...go figure.

Been there, done that:p
Hence why one of the reasons I got the Diamond, that and for it's stellar OCing:D

Today? - Badaxe2
Tomorrow? I'd like to see what the next(last?) ATI for Intel does. AMD is no longer interesting 'cept for price. Or if you need SLI. _ReeL

BadAxe2 - I don't care about SLI. I haven't run anything BUT Intel motherboards for about the last 5 years.

Other than that, probably an Asus.

I currently use an A8N-SLI Deluxe, but the BadAxe2 I built up with a pair of X1950's was... well... BadAss2!!! :D

Abit AN8-32X. Wonderful clocking, very self explanitory.. the only thing is the bios could use some polishing. Wonderful heatpipe, wonderful board, very fast, perfect slot placement.

And it also OC'd better than my DFI. Go figure.
