Eran,

If the memory reminder (MSI)applies to both systems then the only difference
will be the cost. Seem like both have problem overclocking.

The MSI motherboard is shown in the MSI site:
(http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo2_Platinum&class=mb

REMINDER-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 	 MSI Reminds You...

• 	Dual-channel DDR works ONLY in the 3 combinations listed in the table shown
in the previous page.
• 	Please select the identical memory modules to install on the dual channel,
and DO NOT install three memory modules on three DIMMs, or it may cause some
failure.
• 	Always insert the memory modules into the GREEN slots first, and it is
strongly recommended not to insert the memory modules into the PURPLE slots
while the GREEN slots are left empty.
• 	This mainboard DO NOT support the memory module installed with more than 18
pieces of IC (integrated circuit).
• 	The Maximum memory speed decreases when the following two memory combination
is selected:
- Each channel is installed with two double-sided memory module
- Both DIMM1 and DIMM3 are installed with double-sided memory module
• 	Due to the South Bridge resource deployment, the system density will only be
detected up to 3+ GB (not full 4GB) when each DIMM is installed with an 1GB
memory module
