Hello ppl,

well, i'm haveing clickspops from my uad so i want to change my borad but the broblem is: i was looking at those models from Asus A8v and Gigabyte K8u that need to work good with dualcore processors(acording to the WorkingSystem Topic) but the compeny dosnt sell them anymore, ive look on every computer store i can find!, and nothing.

so it would be nice if someone can recomended me new MB that works with dualcore.

my comp:

mb: DFI nf3 (yes i know uad has some problems with nf3 chipset)
AMD dual core 4400
2giga dualchannel Gail ram
RME 96/32

Thanks for any halp!

You can still find the Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra 939 motherboards in Austrailia (if that helps). If you've got an internet buddy there, see if you can get him to transship you one. I have used the ASUS A8V-Deluxe and the GA-K8NS Ultra939 with good success. The Gigabyte board is a bit more stable and responsive due to the NForce 3 chipset and the Sil SATA controller, or at least mine was/is, but either one will serve you well. If you're RAID'ing, the Sil will definitely outperform the Promise controller on the ASUS mobo, but both are good and I'm really splitting hairs here. I used these boards with 4 x UAD-1 cards and both Creamware Pulsar cards (x 3) and RME HDSP cards (x3). I did not use FW audio interfaces. the ASUS board had some issues with PCI bus overload unless the 3 x RME cards were in a 13 slot Magma and the UAD-1 cards were in another 13 slot Magma. Putting both kinds of cards in the same Magme, even if they were on different busses and not sharing IRQ's with each other or the AGP caused a PCI bus trainwreck-lots of clicks and pops. Moving just one of the HDSP cards out of the Magma and into a mobo PCI slot solved this. Best overall performance was using two Magmas though. I don't know about the ASUS A8V-MX.sorry.

The GA-K8NS Ultra 939 absolutely rocks. If you're using AGP, it's worth it to look around until you find one. I'm using two of them these days. Someone should kick Gigabytes arse for discontinuing these.

:wink:

I have an Asus A8V deluxe going to be available very soon.
I've only run it with a 3500+ but the bios is all ready for dual core.
I'm finding it harder to find a X2 939 socket CPu now, so I decided to grab an Intel core 2 dual and a new mobo...
later
