Chipsets

[Johnboat]

So whats the best AMD Chipsets out right now. Is it still the nForce or VIA, or is it AMD that makes the best one now?

Thx

Certainly not VIA. They seem to budget only.

for s939 a nF-4

there is no point in getting a vanilla AM2, if you are going to go this route, just go AM2+ and the AMD 790FX/790X and there is a 770 chipset as well.

you can find some deals on the AM2 MoBo's with nVidia's nF-5x0 series or some ATI (pre-merger) xPress chipsets, but forget about quad-core support they are for the most part X2 only.

i avoid VIA chipsets with any A64 platform. they just cant compete. cheaper sure, but performance challenged compaired with nVidia
