Perfect MOBO for a Perfec AMD system?????

[MrSharky]

I'm looking at sportin' one of the new AMD processors with the FSB that's cranked up to 333Mhz when they get released, as well as the b*tchin' new ATI 9700 8X AGP card, and gettin' down with a little 512MB PC2700 action from Cosair! Now the question is... what tight mobo would be a well set match made in heaven for this rig. I've already got the spinage with a Seagate 15K cheetach SCSI drive, as well as one of those tough Antec Cases. I'd like to hear a lot of pro's and con's with each comment. Let me know what all you guy (and tough girls) out there are thinking! Peace!

Do you have to talk like that? 😛😉 Anyways, get the Epox 8K5A2, it has 1/5divider (will let you run at 333FSB with PCI/AGP in spec.), DDR333, and USB 2.0 I keep reading the 8x AGP support on the MOBO isn't going to provide much in the way of a performance boost over 4x anytime soon so it shouldn't be a major consideration.

The KT400 boards should be out in 2-3 weeks

Good choice on the Epox mobo from Dapunisher, I prefer ABIT and Crucial ( Brand loyalty ) A word of caution about memory - hasn't anyone else caught on to the fact that OCZ and CORSAIR and a whole bunch of other (ALLEDGED) memory companys are really using SAMSUNG and just putting non-functional heat spreaders ( either a Romulan Cloaking Device - or Eye Candy ) over the Samsung chips ? Most time they will run just a little weaker than the REAL SAMSUNG does, of course they perform well, after all they are SAMSUNG !! Why pay the extra $40 - $50 for 5 bucks worth of Eye-Candy when they are really the Samsung sheep in wolves clothing. You can get the 3 sticks of actual honest Samsung for about the same price as 2 sticks of the predators camoflaged imposters.
Kirk out....
