The dealer, which offered me the exchange of the A7N8X, has only boards with KT400a and KT600 chipsets, if I don't want a nforce-chipset. I also read a lot of bad news of VIA-chipsets, but do I have an alternative, if I don't want to buy a nforce2-board and can't get a AMD chipset? I want something stable and reliable and there is no need to buy something _very_ cheap. Something about $/¤ 100-150 would be ok. When I search the webpage of my dealer it looks like that I have to choose beetween the following boards: ASUS A7V600 Via KT600 (99¤) EPOX EP-8K9A9+ VIA KT400A (100¤) EPOX 8KRA2+ VIA KT600 (104¤) MSI MS-6590a KT4A Ultra VIA KT400A (83¤) Does anyone have experiences with multimedia and the above mentioned boards? There are no "A"-versions for the KT600, so do you think, that it is safer to buy a KT400A? > Alas, from what I've seen the best (but slightly more expensive) > way to get the AMD chipset is on a dual cpu board.
