well I had a Gigabyte G-K8NS with a socket 754 and nForce 3 250
chipset but switched to a ASUS A8V delux socket 939 with a chipset
VIA K8T800 and the latter is better as well more things seem to work
with less down sides. I think the latter is much better with the
dual channel memory and runs faster. But then again this is only my
recent experience with AMD64.

eww
