I'm looking for the best Epox mobo to handel:
AMD Athlon XP 2000 266FSB Socket A and be able to possibly upgrade to a 2600 or even a 2800 (when it's available).
DIMM's if possible due to price. Mem will be 256 meg. If you know of 256meg DDR for a good price for the right Epox board please let me know.
Needs to have on-board sound.

I have other components picked out. This is a mid level pc. Definently not a hardcore dream machine. But one that's going to be a great band for the buck.

I'd look at the epox Nforce 2 boards like the EP-8RGA+ or the EP-8RDA+

The 8RGA+ has Firewire and built in GeForce 4 MX graphics. The other is the same without the video or firewire.

I'd compare to the 8K5A series from Epox using the KT333 chipset from Via.

It's a nice board, and I have thought about it. But we really don't need one with built on video or a built on Nic.
What would anyone think about the 8K7A ??
