Could any help me decide which Epox board to get ? Here is my requirement / constraints
1) this is to upgrade existing kid system (homework & games)
2) need to keep it cheap as possible (what ever I save on this upgade goes towards building MY system
3) support both PC133 and DDR (use my old PC133 - upgrade when DIMMs come down in price).
4) onboard sound (nice to have - not manditory)
5) just ordered AMD1600+ w/ AGOIA core (to over clock with future DDR)
6) looking for stability - 0nce I get these systems up and running, don't want to spend time trouble shooting quirky problems.
Thanks in advance
PS - any suggestions for a CHEAP cpu cooling fan that will do the trick for an overclocked AMD1600?
(by the way - not to start a mob debate - but was leaning towards an ECS K7S5A, but keep running into as many problem stories as good one. Seems that Epox is a little more stable & small problem free (this is all just what I'm reading - and of course its all opinions - I think :-0
