I'm currently thinking of uprading from my Athlon 700 to an Athlon XP 1.7, and I'm torn between two motherboards. I've heard that the VIA KT-266A chipset is the way to go, so I've narrowed it down to two models (mainly because these are the ones my local computer shop stocks): the Gigabyte 7VTXE+ and the MSI K7T 266 Pro2.
I've had a glance at the official sites, and both boards seem pretty similar. I was wondering if anyone could give any recommendations one way or the other? I'm currently leaning towards the Gigabyte, because it's 15 bucks cheaper . But is this because it's inferior quality?
Also, what kind of power supply should I be looking at? I'm still using my old case, which I've had since my old Pentium 2. The label on the power supply says 250W Max, would that be enough?
Thanks for any advice.
