Greetings All,
I'm looking for a certain motherboard to build my first AMD rig. With Athlon prices and performance now with DDR-SDRAM support, my next system had to be AMD. But this certain board is hard to find. I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me out.
The board I'm looking for must have an AMD-760 northbridge chipset and AMD-766 southbridge chipset or newer revisions. I already know of the AMD-761 and AMD-762 chipsets. Only board I know that has this is the reference boards that AMD sends to reviewers. I haven't found a retail version of this board. Either they're rare, nonexistant or I'm just too lazy in my search.
I know of the AMD-760 and VIA southbridge chipset boards. Absolutely no VIA chipsets, bad past experience with their chipsets and I'm tired of those 4-In-1, Gart drivers, etc, you know of the occassional problems if you own a VIA chipset board. I know all chipset makers have problems, but VIA chipset boards have caused me the most headaches. AMD-760 and VIA southbridge chipset boards are cheaper, but I'm willing to shell out $300 for this board.
Hope someone can help me out. Or else I'll just have to wait for the Intel DDR-SDRAM mobos.
Thanks
