Question

[dsj]

Which mother board is the most reliable?(brand) And I want them to have the features like the speech reporter or cpu temp control etc... And one that performs good.

 

[CheesePoofs]

for what platform (ie, what CPU, what chipset)?

Pretty much all the major companies are good: Asus, Abit, Gigabyte, DFI, MSI, etc.

For an amd athlon xp. and if you read my other post about asus you will know that I don't like them

XP is kinda outdated... If you plan on buying a new mobo, why not switch to Athlon 64?

 

[dsj]

then I have to buy a new cpu with the motherboard. I only have problems with my asus motherboard. And if I buy a athlon 64, then what about the fx? and what number (speed) should the athlon 64 be that I buy? So these are problems as it's hard to find where to stop.

O ic... Well, you really should consider upgrading somewhere in the near future. I'm just saying that now, if you buy an outdated mobo, it'll be a waste of money (assuming you plan to upgrade in the next year).

I have an ASUS P4S800MX and it's running good since my very old Jetway mobo burned out on me. My ASUS mobo is a microATX , this is an unplanned purchase. I was going to buy a different ASUS mobo or going to get DFI Ultra-D. ASUS if you won't overclock to the max or DFI if you want to squeeze all the juice out of your CPU and ram

asus mother boards overheats the cpu.

 

[dsj]

If I buy an amd 64 which chipset should it be? And there seems to be more than 1 manufactures which shipps in different packages, which one is good?

my bro build hundreds of custom pc for ppl and he swears by Asus.
That does not mean all the other company is crap, it is just that he had zero problems with them.
