I quite reading mobo and chipset reviews/comparisons after a bougt my computer. But know after building my new comp. (Athlon 1.1 ghz with IBM 75gxp and MSI Pro2-a mobo) I am lost. I figured out that the pro2-a is bullcrap. I sent it our RMA today. Anyone have this mobo and my harddrive and its working fine? Well anyway when it comes back and still dont work right what do I do. I am lost with all these new mobo choices. So many darn chipset. Before it was just intel chipset intel chip. Now its crazy. I am looking for a good replacement for my mobo. Is there a mobo guide that
can clear me up. Thanks

the asus A7V or A7V133 are very good performers!

I would suggest getting an Asus A7V133. I just finished putting together my third system using this board with few problems

For those new to installations I usually recomemnd an Asus Mobo (A7V133) before any other. Reason it usually is up and running with the least of problems. For the more experience users - MSI, ABIT or lately Iwill. MSI is a stable board but yo have to know how to deal with it. ABit is better left to the VERY experienced user.
