my friend is looking to build a new system.. prices are cheaper going to Athlon XP route so he asked me to recommend some mobos.. thing is he just got some PC133 Sdram, and would like to stick with it.. the only mobo that has sdram support are ECS's that i see alot as fry's specials..

appreciate any suggestions. thanks :)

in all honesty, buy some new ram. pc133 really lags a system now days. if you are hard set on using the pc133 go with the abit kt7a. the best chipset that your looking at getting is gonna be a via KT133a.
also, make sure that you get a rev 3 on that board so that the athlon xp will work. Honestly, i couldnt imagine hindering that great chip like that, you may as well just go with a thunderbird if your not going to go DDR. there really is that much of a difference. think this one through before you decide to stick to sdr.
