SocketA motherboard suggestions

[DragonFire]

Hello,

My Abit KT7A diead on me and now I'm looking for a new socket-A board and wanted to hear suggestions.

I'm looking for a KT133A board, no raid, with or without audio(doesnt matter to me).....I will be overclocking. I was thinking of the Asus A7V133, what do you guys think about this board? I'd rather not get a Abit board again because I have major problems with my USB IDSN modem....


Thanks for any suggestions.

you won't never go wrong with an asus brand mobo, i've seen reviews of the Asus A7V133 mobo and heard it was good for overcloking and really stable.

i like my MSI K7T Turbo-Raid... it's an awfully stable mobo for overclocking, though not as fast as the Asus but at least $10-$20 cheaper than the Asus.... for $130 shipped (newegg.com), u can get the K7T raid, and with onboard audio too but u can easily disable it if u have a separate soundcard....

for your info, my MSI mobo runs stable at 145 fsb... no crashes whatsoever... the only thing is that there's no fan on the via chipset heatsink, which might prevent u from getting to higher fsbs (150 and above) especially if you have a good cpu
