Biostar or Asus
I was thinking of upgrading my motherboard in the near future and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with either the Biostar M7NCD Pro or the Asus A7V8X-X? I'm trying to stay low budget and both of these caught my eye. Right now I'm running an ECS K7S5A Pro (which runs fine), but I want to take full advantage of my 8X AGP and UDMA 133, neither of which are supported witht the board I've got.

Thanks in advance for you help.

I agree with Urban_Squrill. Asus is a lot more widely used brand and they have a very good warranty on their boards (Although hopefully you will never need to use this warranty).

Just wondering...is this support for Asus just based on the name, or have any of you used this model?

I haven't used this model in perticular but the 3 year warranty is on the older Asus Tusi-M's that we used to get in at work and it has also been on my P4T533-C that I have at home (I had to send this board away when I first got it because it had been damaged being shipped) as well as the P4C800 deluxe's that we at work now.
