Best AMD Standard ATX mobo? Help!!!

[firestar46]

Okay...I wanna upgrade/build a new PC in this Standard ATX case I have lying around (It was for a P2-300 PC), that has 3 5.25" bays, and 2 or 3 3.5" bays... Now I understand that I'll have to get a new PSU (AMD CPU's use 300w, right?) and some more fans (already got 'em), but I wanna make sure that I get a good combo of affordability, quality, and options (like SoftMenu, or another easy OC'ing BIOS setup) There are a lot of mobos, and I just wanna get one with enuff PCI slots and an actual AGP 2x/4x port, as opposed to integrated video. An ISA slot wouldn't hurt either, tho I'm sure they prolly don't have those anymore... Anyway, I wanna build it around a really cheap Duron proc, 'cuz I heard those are REALLY OC'able, and I'm gonna use this PC with a hacked Radeon LE and play games and such, so that's a factor...so, after reading all my rantings, any ideas for me? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanx!

First of all, for a Duron and a Radeon LE, 300w is fine. Once you get up to 1GHz Athlon and GeForce2 Pro's and Ultra's then 350 or 400w is recommended. As far as the mobo goes, it sounds like that you are a overclocking freak, am I correct? Then Abit's KT7A KT133A board would be perfect for you. It has Softmenu III, Ocing galore (100 - 183MHz Fsb settings in 1MHz increments, 1.100 - 1.850V Core Voltage settings in 0.025 increments, and 3.2-3.9V I/O Voltage settings in 0.1 increments), 6 PCI, 1 AGP, and to ice the cake, 1 ISA. And it's fairly cheap, $105 for KT7A, $124 for KT7A-RAID. It's stable, high performing and really one of the top KT133A boards out there, up with Asus' A7V133 and IWill's KK266.
