Hi, I am looking for a AMD based board to replace my ASUS A7PRO. I originally was going to get a Leadtek Winfast K7NCR18D but I dont like the idea of onboard sound/video.
Any suggestions for a cheap brandname barebones mobo ?
That board doesn't have onboard video,just sound.just disable it if you don't want to use it.The pro version has the SoundStorm audio that will be equal or better than any $100.00 soundcard you put in it.For a cheap motherboard ($60.00)the MSI 745 ULTRA will be hard to beat.
I think nearly all modern motherboards are jumperless, and if thats the nForce2 board (cant remember model no.) then it will almost certainly be configured solely through the bios.
