LANParty UT nForce3 Ultra-D

DFI's latest S939 Nforce3Ultra motherboard for us poor AGP'ers is here...

I'm frantically searching for a review on this vs the K8N Neo2 Platinum but can't find any. Need to decide quickly as I'm on the point where I can still change my order from Neo2 to this new mobo... Any insights?

Your better off going to pci express...
sell the card you have buy the comperable pci express part

Hmm you might want to take a look over at DFI Street. If the nforce 3 DFI is anything similar to it's younger sibling I'd say go for it. The MSI board is great though.

Yes the MSI board is great, but it does have it's problems... I am also looking to see how this board [DFI] performs

Btw, does DFI use the Award BIOS?

Yes, why do you ask?

Hmmm, didn't see that.

Hmm does this board have the same tweaks for ram like the nforce4 version?

I don't think so... however, in 20 minutes of searching, I wasn't able to find anything useful on the subject, and I don't remember where I heard about it.

This board looks to be somewhat buggy right now, but the BIOS updates are rolling out already.

It's cheaper to let the consumer test it rather then do extensive testing themselves...
No reviews on it yet, guess we'll have to wait a bit to see how it performs.
