Do you really? Especially if you use its onboard sound (it is really good) + its onboard lan/efernet (dual efernet, nvidia and 3com) that's 2 PCI slots you save right there. Including those, that would mean you would need like almost 8 PCI Slots? wh0a

NForce2-Based Motherboard, you just can't go wrong. Which one? Mainly a toss-up between Epox and Asus (deluxe) but I would go with Asus. I had some bad experience with Epox before but Epox is still pretty good.

I concur. Love my A7N8X deluxe. 8RDA+ good choice also. Good luck with your build!

I have had trouble with (1) Epox so far. A friend also had trouble with (1).

I am going to try a few more..... but if I continue to have quirks.... thats it for Epox.

All manufacturers will occasionally have a bad board here and there...2 is hardly an adequate cross section. However, since you have had trouble, than it's understandable that you want to try another brand. My point is there is no perfect manufacturer....you will always have quirky boards and the occasional DOA.
