Which is the best Chipset?
I`m going to buy a new computer:
ATHLON 1200 (FSB 266)
256 Mb DDR CL2

And, I don`t Know which is the best Mobo.

What`s your opinion about these Mobos?

ASUS A7M266 (AMD-761)
MSI-6380 K7T266 (KT266)
DFI AK76-SN (AMD761)

I`m very interested in the AK-76: ( I`ve read that is very stable, fast, and easy to install(I mean, no problems)
Any Owner?

Thank You

of the current ddr chipsets the amd 760 is the best (meaning the 761 northbridge)

asus a7m266 is a good board, but it has very little overclocking ability
epox 8k7a very good board
gigabyte 7dxr also a very good board

all of the above boards are very similar in performance if you want overclocking ability and a good price then the epox 8k7a is the best choice since it only costs about $120 at newegg.com

KT266 is getting revised so you might want to wait. For now, the 761 is the winner, hands down.
