i have a spare amd 1400+, 512 mb ram pc2100 ddr266, all the other stuff to make another computer. whats a nice cheap but stable mobo? doesnt need ata133, firewire and usb 2 are a plus. agp4x will do.

ive looked at biostar, ecs, shuttle. seems like shuttle gets the best reviews?

MSI 745 ULTRA($60)would be the cheapest,or you could spend a little more and go with one of the basic Nforce2 boards.

I would recommend an ASUS NForce A7N266. Built in video(not bad) but you can always add a card. Built in LAN and good onboard sound. And its only $69.99 ! Get some Crucial PC 2100 (256MB $36.00). Its the start of a good stable cheap system.

Cheap? How about an A-Bit KT266? I bet you can snag those pretty cheap.

Water cooling is for the weak. Get liquid nitrogen.

Ia gree with lwj81, the MSI 745 Ultra is very cheap, outperforms the KT266A, and is extremely stable (mine has yet to crash/freeze).

Go for ASUS A7N266-VM. It has very good onboard audio, that's a bonus

is there a product link to this? i did a quick search of amd mobos on newegg and didnt find msi 645 anywhere. i see a msi 645E at googlegear, but i doubt my amd 1400+ would run very well in that socket ;)

its the 745, not 645. The 645 is for the P4, 745 for Athlon. I looked on newegg and they dont seem to stock it anymore - but dont let this put you off! Shop around (im in UK, dont know many US sites) and im sure you will find it.
