HELP with searching a good MoBo with 4 dimmslots!!!

[theflyingdutchman]

I'm searching for a stable MoBo (266 bus) with AMD-chipsets with at least 3-4 dimmslots, compatible with at least an Athlon 1.0 ghz........

Any suggestions for a low noise (design) ATX-case and a high speed quality HDD

Come on guys... a good video-processing solution is needed here. Could a MP solution be an answer?

Tyan's Tiger is a dual cpu board, so unless you really need 2-cpu's, it's a waste of money. Wait (for what should be just a few weeks) for Abit's KR7. It is based on the enhanced KT266A chipset and has the 4-DIMM slots you want (but just as with the Tiger, you have to use Registered DIMMs in order to populate all 4 slots)!

This has nothing to do with the question I asked earlier... but how do you anandfans think the performance of the nforce-chipset will come out (damn good, bad or maybe disapointing). I saw some benchmarks (i can't remember where) of the new and improved via KT266a chipset...... looked very impressive.

Responders get free ice-cream =)

free ice cream!! woohoo

actually I'm not looking forward to it just yet, the chipset will ofcourse
have to develop to become stable enough in OCing and performance
before I ever mess with it!

now where's me ice cream! lol yumm!!! 😀

IMHO, the nForce chipset will contend for (if not become) the best performing chipset of all, BUT I do not believe we will see an nForce board with more than 3-DIMM slots this year.

I have not seen many boards as of late with 4 DIMM's... I still have 2 mobos in my house with 4 DIMM slots but they are 440BX!
and since then I haven't seen many with 4 DIMM that I can think of! it's either 3 or 2, most commonly 3..

good luck finding a 4 DIMM board, I wouldn't mind one myself actually... 😀
