Please recommend a Athlon mobo for SDRAM

My friend's MSI K7T Pro is going bad, and she needs a replacement. What is the best budget mobo for Athlon's and SDRAM? This mobo will need to be stable as well. Thanks!

You can get these for about $90.

I'd recommend the ECS K7S5A, very nice board, and can take DDR ram if you want to upgrade later 🙂

I really liked my Epox 8KTA3 board; very stable, and very tweakable. I think there's one in the FS forum fairly cheap.

several good ones mentioned already, however you might want to consider the Iwill KK266, a excellent board, and now much less expensive than in the past.
good onboard sound , stable, all the OC features, even has an ISA slot for that older device you may want to use.

I second the iwill KK266. onboard sound is great for my purposes. it is a very stable board. no problems with it. geting close to a year old.
I think it benchmarkks well too.


im about to make it a linux box and upgrade to ddr myself.

I would recommend the Asus A7V133. Very stable motherboard.

I'll second and third the A7V133 🙂

May not exactly be "budget", but will last a good long time and run superbly..

Do you mean using pc133? I have an MSI K7T Turbo w/raid. I bought it because Anand gave it such high praise and I am very pleased with this board. I don't really know about the A7V133, I have an A7V and I like it, but I think if I was to buy a board today I might just pick up one of those ECS boards and see what it is all about. 🙂

Get am ABIT KT7E for around $70. It is stable at a FSB of 266MHz. Check pricewatch.
