sinatosk Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 (edited) like the poll question says. I'm having trouble deciding because I've read on some forums people having quite some major problems with both of these motherboards and also the same in opposite ( people having no problems at all with these motherboards ). edit: could you also please tell me why you would choose that motherboard you've chosen.

tibi108 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Never had any problems with the MSI Neo 2 Platinum..... after I first bought it, I had problems booting but I tracked it down to a defective SATA cable. It's been working perfectly for months now. A lovely motherboard. I have the whole cool'n'quiet thing set up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Veteran Posted November 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 27, 2004 MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum I have read reviews where they state that it is the fastest 939 motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibi108 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Asus A8V Rev2 Deluxe is your choice :) 584996548[/snapback] They are both great motherboards. The MSI has reviewed slightly better by sites such as Anandtech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezza Veteran Posted November 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 27, 2004 I know but Asus have better build quality...it's the reputation that also counts when it comes to reliability over period of use ;) I have MSI mainboard before but it dies 2 years later for unknown reason :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asus is more of a "quality" manafacturer. But I think most mobos can manage 3 years and I'll have a new PC by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
