ASUS A7V8X or A7N8X?

[hyuga]

Is it worth the extra cost and time for the A7N8X? I just started looking for a new motherboard to upgrade from my old MSI K7T266 Pro-R. I was set on the A7V8X (KT400-based), but I read about the upcoming nForce2 chipset. Any suggestions or recommendations on whether to go with the KT400-based A7V8X or wait for the A7N8X?

On a side note. Are there any motherboards with an extra IDE controller (usually RAID) that have all the features as these two boards mentioned below? The reason is that I have 4 HDDs and I am using the RAID controller as an extra IDE controller on my MSI K7T266 Pro-R. Eventually I'll get a Serial ATA drive, but I would still want to keep my other HDDs for storage/archiving. Or should I just get an additional IDE controller (PCI) and go with one of these boards instead (which is what I'm thinking of doing...).

Thanks!

Its to early to tell as the KT400A will be out soon and NF2 retail boards are not really in reviews hands form most companys. your gonna have to wait a few weeks. But look for the NF2 to be slightly more $$$ and it might have driver problems like what plauged NF1.
