Recommended K7 motherboards? (DDR)

[Vegeta99]

Here's the criteria:
The board has to be in the $150-$200 range.
Needs DDR, at LEAST 2 slots - 4X AGP
UDMA100, and needs at least one ISA slot.
Any recommendations? Should i just wait for the KG7?

Try this thread

Edit: ooh..didn't catch the ISA slot requirement...hmmm that's tough...I don't know of any big-brand DDR Athlon boards with an ISA slot...I think you'll just have to hunt and take whatever you can find.

You really need to kill the need for that isa slot, there arent any good ddr boards that I know of that have an isa slot.

Thanks guys. I might have to just cheap out and buy a PCI ethernet card then =)

Yes kill the isa!!! Then run to newegg and get the EPOX 8K7A DDR mobo for 130.00 shipped...

The Biostar 760 board has an ISA slot.

Dude, a new D-Link 530+ PCI NIC is something like $20 Canadian, I'm sure you have enough on your budget to include that card.

 

[Vegeta99]

D-Links are good cards? lol, not that it matters too much, its just for a cable modem. But that EPoX board seems real nice. I've never heard of EPoX before, are they a new motherboard manufacturer?

 

[sandorski]

Epox has been around for awhile. Back in the SS7 days, Epox and Asus were considered to be the best choices.

 

[NelsonMuntz]

I agree with LXi if you want to stick with the ISA then your choice is clear: Biostar M7MIA. Otherwise the Epox is a good buy.

Noting the realtive high-prices aside the 8K7A+ is the raid configuration of the board and not the same model I am talking about...I do not know what extras it has though or even what the premium in dollars it is here...
