Honestly I have no experience with those boards so I couldnt tell ya, but the best thing to do is to call MAS systems and get the number for their tech and ask him. He is asian and has a bit of a accent and his english isnt perfect so you may have to listen closely. Their emails are flaky in that you may get good communication a couple of times and the next time you email them they may not even answer so I suggest calling and talking in person. There are plenty of people here with super novas that can help with any questions about the system so if you dont get answers from MAS then you could get them here. I like mine and have had no problems yet. The big stink that you hear about Super Novas here, is the picture quality. If you are really anal about your picture quality then I would recommend getting comments about the Sigma. According to most "picture quality gooroos" here, the Sigma has the best S-video picture. Now, I have heard that the Super Nova can be used with a RGB monitor to giving you a PERFECT arcade quality picture which is the best you can get but you have to have the monitor of course. RGB is better than the Sigma can put out on s-video. That being said you gotta ask yourself if you need that good of picture and if so wether you want to buy a monitor or not. If neither then go with the Super Nova. If you gotta have the best picture then the Sigma for S-video and the Nova for RGB. I say Nova for RGB because you'll get out cheaper for the same RGB pic you get with the Sigma. Any way, continue to research the internet for info on all these things and you should make a good decision. Good luck
