ULi Chipset and Gigabyte mobo?

Thread Starter 
Well unfortuantley my P4 and Asus board got hit by lightning a couple of days ago. So I figured I would take the AMD route this time. What I have decided on is the 3800+ X2 and the Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128307 which has the ULi 1689 chipset, X2 and AGP support (which AGP is a must). This is the first time I have seen/heard of the ULi chipset and I am kind of weary about getting it. It's hard to find a mobo (in stock) with AGP and X2 support. I am not planning on OCing this board so overclockability is not an issue. Stabily is what I am looking for. Has anyone heard or had any experience with this Gigabyte/ULi set up?

I am open to other suggestion with dual core and AGP support.

Thanks,
Archer_456

ULI chipsets are decent. I wouldnt doubt that your system would run perfectly stable at stock speeds using that board. However if I was the one looking for a socket 939 board with AGP I'd go with this board:

Epox nf3 250:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813123263

I'd rather have nforce3 than a ULI chipset just because I know it's a proven chipset. I've heard lots of good feedback about epox aswell.

BTW, long time no see.

I would recommend getting the Asrock dual sata mobo. It supports socket AM2, 939, DDR2 RAM, AGP, PCI-Express and a whole lotta other crap lol. Overclocking is very good on it too and ther is a lot of support from it with the forum. Same Chipset as tat gigbyte too. I love it.

Thanks for the reply bigvaL. Ya long time no see, LOL. The only problem with the Epox board is that doesn't have dual core support.

Thanks, do you have a link for this one? The Asrock I was loooking at did not have dual core support according to Newegg.
