AGP 939 Board suggestions

Post by FZ1 »

I want to replace my ABIT AV8 with another 939 AGP board. I was looking for a DFI NF3 Ultra-D but no one seems to carry them. I like the abundance of options in the DFI BIOS which makes it easier to OC. Anyone have any suggestions for such a board that is STABLE with high OC's, supports dual core and has a decent BIOS?

is that why you want a NF3 board?

Yes, 6600GT CO on my back up rig - AGP. I use it as a media center mostly so no need to move to PCIE or use a better vid card. I also use it for folding and I know they chip in there can do at least 2.8 but I'm limited to 2750 or so by the board...

hey FZ1,
yah, b4 i bought my LP-UT nf3 259gb i searched for about a month or so for a decent 939 AGP mobo. the only decent one, but not for oc'in, was the MSI, but that was gone. so next was the search for the vapor ware DFI 939 AGP, so last choice, and what i wanted to buy, was the Epox 9NDA3+ mobo. i had read the bios options sux0rs, but last november/december people were reporting a new bios update with bios option that rivaled DFI's and 300mhz+ HT Bus oc. but by the last week of december, they were nowhere to be found.

so i gave up on that and went for the high clocking DFI nf3 and the new Newark cpu using my already owned X800XT-PE. i must say, i'm getting tempted over that new 7800GS CO they have out now. altho i'm an ATI user, if the faster shoes fits and has the same quality....... ya know

Thanks guys (and girl 8) ) I'll keep an eye out for the BIOS update on that board and maybe pick on up later. The ABIT board is just miserable...and they market it as an OC board :roll:
