Well the list has had a number of messages on that you can find in the
archive.  I think I have seen people mention good results with the Asus
A8N-SLI, and I have no problem with the Asus A8V-Deluxe (although of

I have no experience with dfi.  I have 13 years of good experience with
Asus boards though.

What makes something a lanparty board?

I find most of the higher end Asus boards are equiped for anything a lan
party could require.
