ASUS A7N8X....what's it worth?

RuggieBear

Thinking of selling my motherboard to get another. Just curious to know what the going rate would be....?

Absolutely perfect working order just doesn't seem to be compatable with Audigy2, which i bought the other day!, hence the reason for possibly selling it.

Just Divide its current price on Komplett by 2 and that would
be pretty close.

You should get roughly €60 for it give or take. Does it have firewire and SATA?

RuggieBear

Yep. it has firewire and sata! Grand, so 60euro or so. I'll have to think about it. Thanks

Your talkin 60-70 , its a decent motherboard but the AMD XP ones have come down alot in price over the last while.

I'll probably hold off in all honesty....can stick the audigy in my other comp...

Ehh i have the same Mother Board and I im pritty sure it doesnt have a Sata connector on it, to be honest I'd love to be proved wrong cus I have a 160gb sata hdd going to wast atm.

A7n8x - x *unless that x makes a big difference in models, wouldnt say it does)

RuggieBear

To tell the truth i'm a bit confuesd by all the different A78Xs out there but mine defo has SATA

Col_Loki

The A7N8X / A7N8X-X doesent have SATA connectors. The A7N8X deluxe generally does (or always does).

The Version 2.0 and above supports 400mhz FSB chips. The A7N8X-X also doesent support Dual DDR AFAIK, so all the little added on letters make a big difference ......... with ASUS anyway.

Dual channel DDR gives your pc a bit of a speed boost (3-5%) as it's more efficient. Think it's something to do with running your RAM at the same speed as the FSB...i'm sure someone will give a more detailed (or correct!!) answer.

The A7N8X basic and deluxe both support dual-channel ddr afaik.
At least mine does and its rev 1 of the a7n8x. Dont have SATA though or Raid, thats the deluxe board methinks.

i remember reading on anandtech that there is no speed improvement whilst using sata compared with ide?

Col_Loki

The A7N8X-X doesent support Dual DDR (while the normal A7N8X does).

This basically means you pop in two of the same memory modules and you get increased memory performance (bandwidth) ..... only 2-5% so it means feck all TBH.

SATA v IDE , there is very very little performance increase....... only real advantage is neat cables and more future proof .
