A motherboard with opengl huh? Try here
Seriously, look at 3 out of 4 of all the topics in this forum.

The Shuttle AK31A will give you some tweaking options for about $90 shipped. The EPoX 8KHA+ will give you a tad more for about $110 shipped. The ABIT KR7A-RAID will give you what the others do, along with RAID capability for about $160-170 shipped. I listed all of these prices in US dollars.

You can't go wrong with anything based on the VIA KT266A chipset.

Depending on integrated parts and price, the following are some option:

ECS K7VTA3 - $69 USD
Epox 8KHA+ - $100 USD
Abit KR7A-Raid - $160 USD

Hi bovinicus,,,thx for your reply , a motherboard with 'raid' is more expensive does raid maybe have more overclocking capability's?,,,does it have to do with video card ?, my next purchase will be a 64 meg v-card,,,i'll do some research on them soon.




hi AZGamer,,ty for your reply,,the 3 boards u mentioned here :,,do they have the VIA KT266A chipset?


ECS K7VTA3 - $69 USD
Epox 8KHA+ - $100 USD
Abit KR7A-Raid - $160 USD

Yes, all three of those boards have the KT266A chipset, currently the best performing Athlon DDR solution avalible.

RAID has to do with striping two identical hard drives into one virtual hard drive. It has nothing to do with video performance nor overclockability.
