what is THE motherboard to get nowadays?

[5489]

socket a?

 

[larciel]

now = kt333

later = nforce2 or kt400a .. or whatever via names their new one

 

[Dulanic]

The most popular is probably the Epox 8K5A2, stable, very overclockable, priced well, and most the features you could want.

 

[techfuzz]

I second Dulanic's opinion.

 

[CraigRT]

I 3rd it!

that is probably what i am going to end up getting. except, i want the 8K5A3+

 

[thorin]

That would kind of depend on the goal/use of the system.

What are you running now and how much do you want to carry to the new system? I just whitched to Intel 2.4gig and an Albatron Px845PE and could'nt be happier. This was a big leap since I've been an Asus user for so long. I've had the cpu and new MB as high as 2980cpu and 165fsb but just long enough to see if it would boot. That does'nt say much about the board but running my Samsung PC2700@ 412bs does and that was at 2.6v.

The KT400 is a disappointment so far. BUT, VIA is readying the KT400A. They apparently are running scared of the nForce2. Competition is good.
