Hey all, I'm building a semi-budget system for a friend of mine. They don't really do any gaming or anything intensive like that, just the web and word processing. I've settled to go with an Athlon XP, either the 1800+ or 2000+. I've been looking at some mobo's and have narrowed down a list, and was wondering if anybody has had any experience with any of these boards or if they know if any of these are crap or which ones whould give me the most bang for the buck (prices from newegg). I'm not sure if I want to go integrated video or not yet, so I picked 5 with and 5 without. Here they are:
w/o integrated video
Biostar M7VIP (kt333) $65
Aopen AK77-333 (kt333) $70
Albatron KX400+Pro (kt333) $71
Biostar M7VIT (kt400) $73
Albatron KX400-8x (kt400) $79
with integrated video:
Biostar M7VIG-Pro (kt266) $60
Aopen MK77M-V (kt266) $68
Gigabyte GA-7VKML (kt266) $68
Epox 8KMM+ (kt266) $69
Asus A7N266-VM (nvidia 220) $72
Thanks for the help.
