MSI K8T Neo2 v2 VIA K8T800 Socket 939

What is this board like?

Looking for a board that I can do a cheap upgrade on and keeping most of my current stuff.

I have a AGP graphics card.

I thought I could get a AMD 3800 or 4000 with it single core.

This would only cost about £50 in total if I shopped around.

Both these boards are fairly basic and run the VIA K8T800 Pro Chipset which is very close in performance to nForce 3. Also, both support X2 CPUs with a BIOS update giving you a further upgrade possibility.

I'd say either of them would be OK, but would probably go for the MSI as it's a better known brand with a decent reputation.
