I was thinking of putting togeather a new pc and i am trying to chose between asus's A8N-SLI Deluxe Supports AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64FX/Athlon 64 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI PCI Express Architecture SATA 3Gb/s Dual RAID Dual Gigabit LAN & AI NET2 NV Firewall AI NOS™ AI Audio (8-channel Audio or asus's P5ND2-SLI LGA775 socket for Intel Pentium 4/Celeron CPU Compatible with Intel 6XX, 5XX and 3XX processors Dual channel memory architecture 4 x 240-pin DIMM sockets support 8GB / 4GB DDR2 667/533/400 non-ECC memory 2 x PCI Express x16 slot - SLI mode : x8 , x8 South Bridge nForce4 Storage: - 4 x SATAII - 2 x UltraDMA 133/100/66/33 - NVRAID : RAID0, RAID1, RAID 0+1, Software RAID 5 and JBOD span cross SATA and PATA Silicon Image 3132R RAID controllers : - 2 x SATAII - RAID 0, 1 and external SATA connectability both are Dual Core ready, which one does everybody think is better?
hard to choose!! intel ddr2 memory offer xtreme performance!! but that just in numbers today systems are so complex so hi-tech that you cant tell the difference in speed,performance from one to the other!! i like amd better because amd is more affordable,more simple to configure and more stable and runs cooler than lga 775 pentiums the only think i see that can overpass the amd is the ddr2 memory.and they are both nvidia powered try to read a little bit form both cpus and mobos as i said before is real hard choice.
look with close eyes, the [bold]ASUS P5ND2-SLI Deluxe[/bold] is one of the best mobos i ever seen.look i am an amd fan but if i go for intel ill go with that mobo. the new nforc2 4 sli rules and the intel with ddr2 support and sataII and pata hard drives..
oh, yeah thats what i meant. I wanted the p5wd2-premium because it came with the wifi-tv card but it seems that no retailers have that edition. one website said that asus has not yet released that version. if the p5wd2 doesn't ship with the card then i'll buy the p5nd2 for sure.
