ASUS A7V or Aopen AK73pro??

[Fuse]

which motherboard is better:
The ASUS A7V or the Aopen AK73pro??
(I plan on overclocking...)

Based on the review, I'd say the AK73 Pro is better by a substantial margin, but I don't really know enough about both to tell you how much.

This is the review, if you hadn't read it already.

I'm dumping my KT7-RAID for the AK73 Pro (and fast trak 100).

I myself like Aopens boards. I still have my old AX6BC Pro Gold in one of my machines and its the most reliable board i have ever had.

Seems like both boards will do the job fine. Depends on what you expect in terms of "little things". Personally, I think the AOpen board looks cooler, and I've also had good experiences with their products. But then again, the A7V has the Promise ATA100 and also an extra standard USB port (5 vs. 4 I think).
