I haven't bought a new mobo in over a year so I'm out of the loop. My parents' computer has some stability problems (lockups, causes data loss, doesn't turn on right away when powered up) so I just want to replace it. I'm gonna keep the CPU (Duron 750MHz) and I need something that supports PC133 SDRAM. Any suggestions? Thx

edit: also integrated video is a plus. Thanks

PC-Chips M810L v7, aka ECS K7SEM v3. It even includes the AMR modem card.

Your stability problems however hardly are the mainboard's fault. Inadequate power supply and bad RAM are the primary suspects, and they're not going to disappear with a new mainboard.

Another vote for PC-Chips M810...the LMR version comes with everything you need....LAN, Modem, Audio & Graphics....the new revision is a cool red colour too!....and comes with PC-Cillin 2002....and some odd Office Suite.

Yup. I got the Amptron one. 7.1b or something like that. They even support the XP2100+ cpu.
