What one....

[TQB]

Well I have decided against the AMD 2500+ Barton and am going with either a AMD 64 3000+ or 3200+ depending on finances after the Mobo and power supply.

What I was wandering is what one of these MoBo's would you get for the AMD 64 3000+ or 3200+

Or would you suggest something different? For what is worth I am not going to be overclocking this CPU

 

[Peter D]

Not overclocking? You should get a K8T800 chipset board. I hear the Albatron K8X800 ProII is quite good, and the onboard Via Envy audio chipset is a big plus.

i will be interested in hearing what people suggest... i am in the same position with choosing the cpu.... really not sure what mobo to go with... dont plan on o/c....

Do you have anymore info on that albatron board?
