ATi OR NFORCE 4?

[mandar5]

I want to buymobo for my amd athlon 3200+ 939 pin pro,I am confused whether to buy ati rs480 based mobo or nforce 4 based mobo?I have modest budget of 5-5.5k.What is best pcie based card under 3500rs?

Nforce is the most stable platform for AMD. Go for Nforce4 (MSI).

the nforce4 chipset is better, but better only
and moreover when u r goin for a budget board then u need to look at ur needs and the external features offered by the board rather than the chipset !!!!

coz u indicate goin for an external GFX card
i suggest goin for ASUS a8n-e
its got evrythin except the onboard graphics

and for the GFX card for 3.5k
i suggest the XFX geforce 6200 ( 256mb - PCIE)

Ati rs 480 is a good chipset with very good onboard graphics. U can also try new nforce 4 chipsets with onboard video. If prices are same then nForce is better than ATi.

Ok then can u give me any name of the model .The mobo with nforce4 chipset as published in digits issue few months back-Winfast k8mc is unavailable in mumbai.

Thanks in advance,
