Okay folks which one would you buy? I'm trying to give a friend advice and I really don't know which one I would pick. Help me out please!

depends on the chipset/ram, but i would go with the 166 option without a second glance.

you have to have a chipset rated at 333mhz, and at least ddr2700...

The motherboard will be an ASUS A7V8X if that helps any.

What's your beef with Asus? I've never had anything but good experiences with them. Few oc'ing features, but it's almost always a stable board, no matter what it is.

I agree with ^, Ive never had any trouble with Asus either

Well i have a beef...

How come they always cost close to double the cash that other boards cost ??

I had owned 2 myself (when i still used a P2/P3) and they cost twice what it cost to get a QDI back then.

The CUV4x cost double the price of a QDI advance 10f here in greece.

not to mention that Special Edition (black) that cost over 250USD here a year ago....no shit.
