OT :
A lil addition to darky's post :
At launch, there were really just two Athlon 64 chipsets - the nVidia nForce3 150 and VIA K8T800.
The 150 chipset was criticized widely for using just 600 HyperTransport when the AMD specification was 800, and almost everyone found fault with the out-dated feature set with nF3-150. The 150 chipset was criticized widely for using just 600 HyperTransport when the AMD specification was 800.
There was no performance differences at all between the VIA 800HT and the nVidia 600HT in tests of Socket 754 Athlon 64.
The PCI lock did not work in production nF3-150 motherboards.
It was then that NVidia launched the nf3 250 chipset . Here are the specifications :
1. nForce3-250 - basic value chipset for 754, 800HT, does not include on-chip Gigabit LAN or on-chip Firewall.
2. nForce3-250Gb - 800HT, includes Gigabit LAN and on-chip Firewall.
With the coming introduction of Socket 939, there will also be two additional versions of the chipset introduced:
3. nForce3-250Gb Ultra - 1000HT, Gigabit LAN, Firewall, Dual-Channel unbuffered, for Athlon 64/Athlon 64 FX.
4. nForce3-250Gb Ultra PRO - 1000HT, Gigabit LAN, Firewall, for Opteron.

^^ There was a difference. Very noticeable one in profession apps and spec benchmarks. To add to that the HT bus on Via K8T800/NF3 250GB is 16bit/200MHz(Quad pumped AFAIK... depends on the LDT multiplier). The HT bus on the NF3 150 was 8bit, 600 MHz. Also the NF3 250/250GB is the only chipset to have lan capabilities in the chipset itself. Also my board is not for sale yet

.anishcool said:^^ Which proccy do you own SCSI ? Cause I think a A8N-E + 3000+ (Venice) would make more sense...
Thanks to all for clarifying the doubtshyeah:
Well I have A64 3200+ (ClawHammer Core, CG rev[exchanged my C0 rev of same CPU with my friend who hates OC'ing and is very afraid :rofl: :bleh: :tongue: ], S-754
)BTW Chaos & Sunny How u ppl got DFI mobos??? From abroad????
