Best Athlon MB

[reicherb]

I haven't been following motherboards for quite some time now. I'm ready to build a new system and wondered what Athlon boards I should look at.

Thanks.

Well depends on your needs, budget, etc...

The nForce 2 boards are starting to look good, BUT they are new and they still may have some bugs.

If you are buying in the next 2-3 weeks I would look at the Epox EP-8K9A2+. It is a Kt400 board with ethernet, 6ch Sound, Raid, serial ata, usb2.0, and should overclock like a champ.
I think it gos for $125, which is cheap for all that it has.

What about the Asus A7V8X?

I'll be doing some video capturing and editing, some graphics editing, very little gaming, and I run VMware.

MSI-6390 would be a good start. Onboard video, sound and lan. Uses DDR Memory (2 slots), 3 pci slots, 1 agp slot. Houses amd xp up to 2000+..

Currently it is about $62.00 over at www.newegg.com <B>

When you ask for "what's the best..." you're just going to get everyone's opinions. Usually "the best..." is what that person has.
