I'm interested in creating an AMD64bit computer. I need a lot of PCI bandwidth.

I made a note for future upgrade of these mainboards after they were listed here on planetZ by other users.

Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro with AMD64 3200
MSI K8N Neo Platinum with AMD64 3200
msi neo2 platinum 939 with AMD64 3000

I'm going to buy one of these in the next few days. I really really really hope it works!

I wouldn't touch Nforce4.. it's a bad time for the jump to PCI Express for graphics. I have tried an Asus Nforce4 SLI board and it truly sucked.

Regarding my recent experiences with MSI Neo, I can't recommend that board anymore. It worked absolutely great, until started to fail with proper cpu voltage delivery. I have to set overvoltage for my cpu to get it default 1.5v and stable
I'm looking for a new mobo as well, but if nforce4 is not recommended, perhaps I should wait for next generation.

i've recently bought

asus a8v deluxe with via chipset
1gb matched pair 2 cas corsair xtreme memory
3ghz amd64

all in a nice antec sonata case

was worried about via but couldn't find any probs reproted on other forums whereas with nforce 4 there was/ also probs with equivelent abit board.

Runs lovely with my two power pulsars, however the sonata box was a pain with fullsize boards unless you use the last two pci slots. No probs as yet will do a reverb test as soon as i get a mo.

I think AMD64 stuff works different to the old North/Southbridge stuff, with Hypertransport or something. Not sure if that's NForce-only or not though.
