I just bought a Duron 650 from Onvia and now I need a stable mobo. Here are what I found the best mobo for Duron.

ABIT KT7
ASUS A7V
MSI K7T PRO

I don't need RAID. (this PC is for my gf :p)

Can't decide which one should I pick. Any suggestions?

I got an Abit KT7-RAID, and I've been happy with it, so I'd say the KT7 is a good MB for that Duron. It'll be easily overclocked, too, with the completely BIOS-based CPU settings that the board offers.

I just got my KT7, and I love it so far. Minor problem on first boot up you should watch, you need to go in and auto-detect ALL IDE devices EVEN if they are displayed correctly in the main screen. Also, there are less problems if you do a clean re-install of Windows, but it can be done without if you clear out your hardware profile before booting on the new mobo. Oh and also make sure to install the VIA 4in1 driver before you restart Windows for the first time.

(I forgot to enable my CD-ROM drives in the BIOS and I didn't have Win98 copied to the HD so the OS got a little upset. Oops) But it all worked out now.

This is easy for the most stable board it`s the MSI K7T PRO,for overclocking it`s between Asus A7V & Abit KT7.
