Best KT-333 MB for this setup.. ? (MOM)

[HardwareAddicted]

Ok, so I have a system for my mom to build....
She won't be oveclocking.....just would like the most feature rich and stable board.

The breakdown :
AMD 1900+ or so...(W/Alpha)
512 PC-2700 or better (Samsung ?)
IBM HDD 80gb or so (120GXP)
Lite-ON CD-RW & DVD

You get the idea.... so what MB would give her the most for a NON-Overclocker ?

And if anyone has a good deal on any of this stuff, or knows of a hot deal on this stuff, please put it in PM...

Thx in advance guys !!!

Go for an ASUS board if you're not overclocking.

It's very stable and you just can't go wrong with thier lineups.

I'd with the msi or epox board. They are both very stable and have good features.

I would go for the Shuttle AK35GT2R. It has a 5.1 C-Media sound card. High Point raid so the hard drive can run a raid port and leave the 2 standard IDE ports for the DVD and CD-Burner. It cost less than $99.

Hmmmm.... that's an idea.

Pri/master= DVD
Sec/master= CDRW
Raid1/pri/master= HDD(master/single)

I've never set one up that way B4..... Will this work with just one hard drive ?

I have the older shuttle, and I love it.... although I do not use the raid right now.

LMK pepole....

Yeah my vote goes to Shuttle AK35GTR v.2.2 or Epox 8K3A+!
They have about the same things, RAID, etc. But the Shuttle has 4 DIMM slots.

Good luck on ur pick!
