Mobo recommendations? Asus A7N8X ?

[Nicki]

Can someone tell me the difference between the Asus A7N8X and the A7N8X-X ..
What are they lacking exactly compared to the deluxe?

I am looking for a motherboard for just a plain computer that won't be
overclocked or used for any hardcore gaming. I plan on pairing it with
maybe an AMD 2600 or so it depends on the price of the board. Ideally, I
would like to spend 200$ on a cpu/board combo. I had a Biostar croak on me
after just a year and a half. I don't want that to happen again :/

Thanks for any insight,
Nicki

The Deluxe comes with Serial ATA, 1394 connectors, 2 LAN ports, Soundstorm
audio with SPDIF output. Also the deluxe uses Ultra400 chipset, i think at X
or X-X or both are just plain vanilla DDR400. You don't need the Deluxe
unless you are interested in the extra features.

I suggest you should also look at MSI and Gigabyte boards, they are just as
good as if not better than Asus, and you will save a few bucks for the same
spec.
