Need mobo recommendation for A64

[bbasiaga]

Hi.

So I started out with a K8V SE Delux from Asus, and after hours and hours of troubleshooting and testing, I figured out it was bad.

So it was RMA'd but instead of sending me a replacement, they just refunded. So I have teh chance to either buy a new one Asus board, or get something else.

Any recommendations? The only complicating factor is that I bought Kingmax ram b/c it was on the tested list for the ASUS board. I can't really return that, so if I decide to go with a different mobo, I'd like it to work with that ram.

Any help would be great,

Thanks,
Brian

I contacted tech support for my RAM asking for what settings to use when I transfer my pc3200 ram to a new nforce3 754 board. Also mentioned that I was looking at getting the Asus K8N-E DLX but was open to suggestions as long as it had firewire.

He suggested the DFI lanparty NF3 board, also said the Asus board was good but suggested relaxing CL to 2.5 whereas 2 on the DFI should be no problem. Also from my research it seems like a very stable board.

So don?t know if you considering a NF3 board but thought I?d chime in.
