    Default Which Nforce 4 motherboard would you buy (or have bought)?

    As manufacturers have now released their Nvidia nForce 4 solutions, some in SLI format and some in non SLI format, or both.
    Kindly select which manufacturer you would purchase from (or purchased from), irrelevant of SLI or NON SLI.

    Asus here, Had nothing but good things with all my Asus products in the past and I love the features they always include. Might not be the easiest to overclock, but worth it to me cause of the extra features.

    Personally I want to wait for the new ATI mobo. Reading that during the testing, its a great board. Hopefully it will support AMR as well. If that doesnt pan out well, then I guess I'll be getting DFI.

    Bullhead, the inital release of a socket 939 chipset motherboard from ATI, does indeed show promissing features and results. The boards that are about to be released base on RS480 are from the Bullhead design, some with ATI SouthBridge some with ULI for it appears that initial releae of the ATI SouthBridge did have some issue, fixed now I dunno?
    AMR from ATI, I honestly do not think we will see in the first 2 Q of 2005 I would be very surprised, but once it is out and if indeed it stands on the 'said to be design' of all driver powered dual graphic card. That will surely be on one of my desktops.
    BB_One.... Out !

    From what I hear on the AMD side, DFI is the way to go, but personally I do not like DFI.

    Down with DFI!! I voted ASUS but I've only used IWILL before so I've got no bias with the brands. Correction I've used gigabyte once before two but since it couldn't survive the 20ft drop test, rain sleet and snow and not to mention several baths of Canadian Mist....they just don't make things like they use to.
