((( Cheap and Fast ))))

[SIDEARMS]

Just got one of those PNY TI4200 128mb 8x video card from BB so, I need a cheap and fast motherboard to run it. This is mainly a gamming machine. Any recommandations?

Ah details................cpu, memory, AMD or Intel?

 

[SIDEARMS]

Doesn't matter. Just Cheap and Fast. Overclock, welcome.

So you are going to build the entire system around the video card?

I'd go for a Soltek or FIC nForce2 motherboard, an AMD AthlonXP Tbred "B" either 1700+ or 2100+, and 2 x 256MB PC3200. That should cost less than $300 and it will be fast.

Thanks.

Of course you could spend a few dollars more on an Epox 8RDA+ or Abit NF7-S and get an even better board. But the FIC and Soltek are both solid and shouldn't disappoint.
