    Nice review. My K8N will be here by Friday...I guess this confirms I chose right. :hehe: Can't really go wrong with any of them, although the price of the ZNF3-250 and Gigabyte are a bit steep compared to the others. The Shuttle looks nice, I'd like to see the pricing on it (can't find it anywhere yet).

    Great Article. Its really interesting to note how similar the performance was across the different boards. Are the Via Chipset based boards also that neck-to-neck in performance?

    I'm leaning toward the chaintech VNF250 or the Abit KV8 (with the VIA chipset) I'd like to see a better comparison between the Nforce & Via chipset boards.

    For the moment at least I won't be able to bring you a comparison there. However the NForce 3 board is the one to go for, I have a Kv8 Max 3 here and the NForce boards are faster / have a working(ish) PCI/AGP lock for overclocking and offer more features. I would advise you follow the NForce route personally :)
