Which PCI-e mobo?

JimJones · 13 Feb 2006 at 15:43

Hello I'm looking for a 939 mobo to go with a x1900 graphics card. I don't want it to be cross fire as if I ever get another x1900 there will be better boards out than there is now.

I have a X2 4400 and 2 gig of ram I don't want to overclock anything. So what would be the best one to get. Ideally I don't want to spend over 50 quid.

Cheers Jim

Think you might need to spend a bit more than £50 - i'm in similar position and am looking at the MSI NF4 Platinum which is £82.00 inc.

Damn didn't really wanna spend that much, as I might have to get a new PSU aswell. Some of the cheap asus boards look nice.

Such great CPU & Graphics. They want you to spend more and get the Asus A8R-MVP

Asrock Dual Sata2??

Can be had for around £47.

Huge thread on it in here.

As long as the motherboard is stable and my components work in it I'm not to bothered about it. No need for onboard sound or network card 4 SATA ports would be nice.

Have you looked at the M-Atx mobos such as the Gigabyte one ?

Here is a link to the Asrock specs if you are interested.

EDIT: The Asrock has been completely stable for me and I have come from a completely Intel P4 rig so I know what stable should mean.

Thanks that looks like a good board and I can get it now and use my old graphics card till I get my new one.

Cheers Jim
