what's the best gaming mobo to pair w/ AthlonXP 3200+?

[ComputerFreako]

Hi fellows, I'm kinda need some good advice. I'm planning to upgrade to an AthlonXP 3200+, I choose this CPU coz it's really cheap right now in our country: you can get it 'round $140 or so. Which gaming mobo would be the right choice for this one?

The Asus A8R-MVP is reckoned to be a pretty competitive overclocker board, by reviews, AnandTech is one to look at.

are you kidding? this board is socket 939, athlon XP's are socket A.

I want a good answer from the expertise.

Sorry, I have an Abit XP board, have not used it in about a year.

Oh well, you can dream!

Hello,

Get a Asus A7N8x

 

[RichPLS]

Take your pick at some preferences
Give some feedback, like what is availabe where you are....

Epox is good.

Abit is good. (I have a preference for Abit)

and so is Chaintech!

Does no good to suggest a board you can not get.
