Can anyone help me decide which motherboard I should get ?
I´m not that good at hardware and I´m thinking about getting a new motherboard but I´m not sure if I should get a nforce2 based motherboard or a Via KT600. I´m probably getting a ATI 9800 pro to be in this computer and I´m thinking about Asus A7V600 but I´m not sure so any help would be appreciated 
(need help fast since I´ll probably order one today)

My personal opinion would be to go for the nForce motherboard. I've been drooling over the specs on those ever since I saw them the first time, and their setup is rather impressive.
However, I'm no AMD fanboy, so I'm not entirely sure which would give ya the best performace. (being an intel person myself, I tend to stray away from VIA chipsets however, so that does play into my decision)
So um yeah, there's my $0.02.... |

you already know my $0.02
but to restate it, i think you should go with the Asus one, just because it has gigabit ethernet, and because you'll be able to upgrade it for a while |

0.02 cents is like an opinion.
"now you know my two cents, now you know my opinion." |

Why would I wanna buy a nForce motherboard? I have no AMD processors, and honestly don't really think I will for a while... It's the whole issue of endianess (For those of you who don't know what little-endian and big-endian is, dont worry, just know it's a big difference) |
