Which KT400 board for AXP1600+AGOIA ?around $100

[AMDBOY]

Newegg has the MSI KT4VL -OEM $90 & the MSI KT4 Ultra (6590-010) RETAIL $109. Both have KT400/
VIA VT8235 chipset. I can't find any reviews on these boards. I've had good results w/MSI before, but I also don't want to be an "early adoptor" and get burned with a 1st generation board. Anyone have any experience with these boards? Or, any other KT400 sugestions for around $100. This chipset should be o.k. for that cheap cpu (AXP1600+AGOIA) right? Thanks very much!

Not a KT400 board, but take a look at the KT333 based Epox 8K5A2+. It's as fast or faster than most KT400 boards, overclocks awesome, and has the same 8235 southbridge as the KT400 boards. It has 6 USB 2.0 ports, 5.1 sound, ATA133/RAID, and onboard LAN, for under $100. More information can be found in the thread at the top of this forum.. Unless you need AGP 8X, consider the more mature KT333 boards.

Insane3D, Sounds like good advice. With all those features how can you go wrong. I also have an older EPOX board. I know they are top quality & mine is solid. I guess sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees, eh? Anyway thanks. Probably this time next ,year a lot of us will have upgraded again, to something with PCI express & serial ATA. Does it ever end(my wife asks). Hasn't KT333 only been out a few months also??
