Below is the rates I've got for Socket 939 for AMD Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX
ABIT AV8 VIA K8T800+8237 w/ GB LAN, IEEE1394 $159
ASUS A8V Deluxe VIA K8T800Pro w/ GB LAN, IEEE1394 $173
MSI K8T Neo2-F VIA K8T800Pro w/ GB LAN, Audio $148
MSI K8T Neo2-FIR VIA K8T800Pro w/ GB LAN, IEEE1394, SATA RAID $173
and Athlon 64+ - Socket 939 processor is about
Athlon 64+ 3500 RETAIL BOX $469
Athlon 64+ 3800 RETAIL BOX $855
does those m/b use PCI Express or AGP 8x
the ASUS m/b looks more better, it has built-in WiFi
Thanks
