Hello.
I am about to buy a new mobo to install my just bought Celeron 1.4 Ghz. I've bee doing some searching, and the first one to come out was the Asus TUSL2-M.
Since I have to buy a Micro-ATX mobo, my options are limited. I just don't want to spend a lot of $$$ in a new case, since later on I will get a new Creative Labs sound card to watch DVDs.
Anyway, I'm looking for:
Micro-ATX mobo (Don't want to get a new case)
CNR/AMR slot (To put my actual modem)
4X AGP Slot (To get a more decent card than my actual GeForce4 MX440 PCI)
Audio onboard (AC' 97, or other) I will get a NEW sound card LATER ON.
As many PCIs as I can, usually 2 or 3 are available.
I need them to plug my new sound card and my actual LAN card.
However, is it recommended to use the onboard LAN card? Does it take too much CPU power?
As far as I searched, the ASUS TUSL2-M is the best product I can get, but I have to deal with something before getting it: GETTING IT. I can't find ANYWHERE!! Does anybody know an online store to buy this product??
Well... I guess that's it. If somebody has a better motherboard option, please don't hesitate to tell me.
Thanks in advance, Leo.
PS: Does a 100 Mhz FSB CPU overclocked at 133 performs the same than a 133 Mhz FSB non-overclocked one? What about the cooling? Is the Intel's fan enough?
PS2: If somebody knows a better motherboard, or another one that could work fine, please don't hesitate to tell me. I'll be glad to listen.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by damianfaye on 02/17/03 09:12 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
