I'm about to buy a new motherboard and was hoping to receive some feedback first. I'm going to be using a Athlon 2500XP processor and for my price range I've narrowed it down to these boards: Biostar M7NCD, Mach Speed V400, Epox RDa+, and Asus A7N8X. If any of you all have an opinion of which would be the best purchase please give me some feedback. In advance, thanks for any responses.
P.S. I've read that there are some heat issues with the North and South bridge on the Epox. Is this a valid concern?

Stick with Epox 8RDA+ or the ASUS A7N8X. Both are really good boards and you wont regret buying either. Personally, i am very satisfied with the Asus A7N8X Dlx.

A7N8X Dlx Rev2.0
2*256MB Hyper-X PC4000 @ CL2.5-4-3-7

Go with the Epox board as it utilizes the nForce APU and has very good overclocking features - if you should want to do that.

Go for Epox.

Personally I love my ABIT NF7.
