Hey guys.

Im planning on building a new computer.
I just wanted to ask which mobo will be the best in price/performance and will be able to effectivly be overclocked?
For the cpu its gonna be an AMD 3000+ or 3200+ Probably on 400mhz :). Which brands would you guys recommend and which chipset I should go after? VIA or the Nforce 2?

Thanks guys, greatly appriciate it.

For those old CPU's I'd definately go with the Abit NF7-S.

You definatly want something with the nForce 2 chipset. VIA is better than it used to be, but still can't beat nForce.

Intel P4 2.4B, MSI 645E Max-U Mobo, 1GB DDR333, ATI R9800PRO 128MB, TT PurePower 420W, SB Live 5.1, Samsung 120GB, Maxtor 120GB, LG DVD+-R/RW, WIN2K PRO SP4

AXP 3000+, 3200+ is quite expensive. With this money, you can get A64 2800+ or 3000+, which perform much better

For AXP system, I recommend ABIT NF7-S
For A64 system, I recommend MSI K8N Neo Platinum
