OK!! but nForce4 SLI is a better option as it has 2 PCI-E slots which when used increases performance till 70% and its introductory cost (I m talkin bout Asus A8N SLI) is near to 180$ which in india may b'cum 10~13K. if VIA is not cheaper than this it Sucks. moreover the performance of nVidia boards is way ahead VIA especially 4 Athlon64/Athlon64 FX. and they hav mistyped 933BGA it has 2 be 939. (U did the same as well)

I think what was meant was that the packaging of the South Bridge (VIA VT8237) is a 933 Ball Grid Array. This is not the same as the Socket 939 used by the newer Athlon 64 and Athlon Fx processors.
