Socket 939, 940 continued -

Last post covered the processors. Here I look at a sampling of motherboards:

 
 940 Motherboards				Pricewatch 
 Asus	VIA K8T800	SK8V			$118.00 
 Asus	nForce3 Pro 150	SK8N			$170.00 
 Tyan	AMD-8111	Tiger K8WS (S2875S)	$211.00  
 Tyan	AMD-8111	Tomcat K8S (S2850) 	$159.00 
  
 939 Motherboards                                Pricewatch 
 Abit	VIA K8T800 Pro 	AV8-3rd Eye		$125.90 
 Abit	VIA K8T890 	AX8-3rd Eye		n/a 
 Asus	nForce4 SLI	A8N-SLI Deluxe		n/a 
 Asus	VIA K8T800 Pro 	A8V Deluxe		$99.00 
 MSI	nForce3 Ultra	K8N Neo2 Series		$129.00 
 MSI	VIA K8T800 Pro	K8T Neo2 Platform	$104.00 
 

The one that, by specs, is the most exciting is the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe using the nForce4 SLI chipset. Doesn't seem to be available generally in the market yet. Don't see any reviews, either, but I'll keep looking. I prefer Asus, and I prefer nVidia, so my next option would be SK8N.

I'll search more for the A8N-SLI availability and reviews. Also, the MSI K8N Neo2 looks real interesting.

Any tips from the crowd here would be appreciated!
