Question: Asus K8V-SE Deluxe vs. MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM

Q:
Hi everyone,
up until this morning, I was going to go with the msi mobo,
but today, I found a very good deal, but I'll most likely have to go with the K8V-SE Deluxe, as they do not have the MSI. Is there much of a performance difference between the two(when oc'ing and not oc'ing).

A:
Haha. You're in luck my friend. I actually own both of them. I got my K8V-SE Deluxe board first with a 3200 Newcastle. My first impressions were, The BIOS sucks. I didn't now like the BIOS at all. No adjustablity. The VIA chipset is great but its nothing compared to the NF3 250. My suggestion, go with the MSI. It's a great board. I don't regret it. I let my gf have my K8V-SE W/ A64 3200 Newcastle and I have a A64 3200 Clawhammer :). Wish I would have waited like 3 more weeks. I could have bought a 3400. My advice.. get the MSI. I bought the K8V because they ran out of stock of the MSI. I regretted it.
