best amb mobo for ~70?

[kalster]

sick of this epox 8kha getting random crashes,
wat is the ebst i can get for around 70-75
i dont mind refurbs (have no experience with newegg refurbs)
i am looking at kt 333 chipset mobo, i have a athlon xp tbred 1800 , i think the kt33 is better than the orginal nforce in terms of performance


any suggestions?

I have had this board for several months now, and it is a great board for the money.

It is the Albatron KX400-8X

True dat. GF2MX video, nforce 5.1 sound with digital out, eth, 4 USB. The best fit for a budget / low-impact-gaming system. (edit) At leat according to Anand's groupies. I have two, they pull CS at 1024 no prob at all using IGP.

dont really need integrated video, thatz y i didnt really consider the nforce , i have a gf2 gts now, but might be getting a better video card in the future

 

[kalster]

YES! I love this motherboard, especially since the new bios for radeons came out, it is fast and stable with many great tweaking options. Best value I've seen in an AMD motherboard today, period. You'll even be able to upgrade to 3000+ and beyond processors in the future.
