Hey since I'm lazy and don't know too many good motherboard sites, do you know of a motherboard that has all of this:
supports all tbirds (1ghz+)
266 mhz fsbus
ddr ram support
1 4xagp slot
1 ISA slot
5-7 IDE
ATX size

5-7 ide? or pci?

and if you did mean ide are you talking about supporting that many drives, or that many channels?

and i hate to tell you but you are really limiting yourself if you need the isa slot (i have nothing against isa)

the problem is all the good ddr boards have no isa slots

and to be honest i cant think of a single ddr board with an isa slot(not saying there isnt one :) )

ya...i agree...isa slot not necessary. And my vote goes for the EpoX 8k7a...why? Cuz i have one and i have no complaints as of yet.

I second or third the votefor Epox...
I have mine and love it.

My only complaint...caps in front of the socket get in the way of putting my Taisol clip on.

But I do have my Duron 600 at 1125 too.... he he.

So I guess that makes up for it. :D
