AMD 64 3200+ and Asus K8V Deluxe

[fsstrike]

My friend is getting an AMD 64 3200+ and is getting the Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard. Is this a good choice, and will the 3200+ work to its maz potential. Or is there any other motherboard that is a better choice?

If he doesn't plan on overclocking...then yes it's a great board. The via chipset doesn't have a pci/agp lock so it won't overclock very far. Wait for nf3 250 if that is a concern of his.

If overclcoking then try and wait for the next VIA and Nivida chipsets.

If not then look at the Albatron

Its the board I have and I like it a lot.

Should be fine for stock settings.

Get Albatron if you want the Envy24 PT onboard audio solution if your able to use it's digital out connection.

Im biased against the K8V due to being an early adopoter and getting a crap board with bad capictors, but read the K8V sticky thread, lots of issues even with people wtih new boards.

I am replacing my K8V and going with MSI

Actually the analog is excellent too.

Hooking up by analog will limit the audio quality to 18-bit/48 KHz since it'll have to go through the VIA codec. Unlike the digital out which bypasses the VIA codec & thereby allowing it to output @ 24-bit/96 KHz.

Certainly, but the analog is the best among the on-board solutions from what I've read too.
