I'm looking to convert....best MB for a Tbird or Duron

[Dead3ye]

I used to be an AMD fan, but the performance was just not there so I converted to Intel, but now that AMD is on top of their game, so I want to go back.

Question: What is the best MB for the AMD CPU's? Socket A's only. I will be overclocking, so those features are a must. Stability is also of importance. If you look at my rig (the P3 one), how much of that stuff will be compatable with the AMD MB's? (Hopefully all of it.)

I, and many others, have had fantastic success with the MSI K7T Pro2a. However, the 133a motherboards are coming in, so I'd wait for a review of the K7T Turbo (retail edition, not prerelease) before making ANY motherboard choices. At least, that's what I'm doing.

that being said, check out some AMD websites, because installing an AMD system is a bit different than a P3 system. a lot of people are having problems because they're "converting", and trying to use the same "rules" in installation, and fu#king everything up.

all your hardware should be compatible.

Thanks for the info. Anybody else have an opinion?

The A7V133 is also a excellent choice. I own one now, and it rocks.

You have 3 good choices the Asus ,Abit < MSI get the KT133A and a duron 600 or a Tbird if you have the cash. got my duron 600 to 1 GHz+

I had a KT7A-RAID...had a few problems. Switched to a A7V133...totally perfect and stable.

The Iwill KK266 is looking like a real good one also.

I was thinking Asus since I have had good luck with them in the past and present. Thanks for the info.
