Need something to put my 2000+ athlon xp into, since my current motherboard's capacitors are leaking.
My choice is either:
ASUS A7N8X-X $85 CAD
XP SOCK-A ASUS A7N8X $105 CAD
Do I understand correctly that the only difference between these two is that A7N8X has Dual Channel DDR?

I went on the Asus site to check, so I'm just posting here to double check.

That's pretty much right. The -X versions of the ASUS boards are the budget line, they lack certain functions, such as Dual Channel and maybe others (no extra IDE/SATA controller or FireWire? not sure).

Spend the extra cash on the better board TB.

Dual channel is considerably faster and well worth the extra cost, especially if its going to be awhile until your next upgrade.

100 bucks for new mobo and graphics card is very hard to do to get anything worth while.
Also what processor do you have?
