okay ive been looking around at motherboards? but im kinda losing it on the technical details.
if anyone can recommend a good board with the following requisites, i'd really appreciate it.
im going for an older chipset because i dont have all that much to spend, and it's in canadian dollars too. another strike against me.
i was looking mainly at the abit kt7 series, but then again my opinion might be flawed.
primary concerns:
i'm upgrading major parts from my amd k6-2 350 with asus p5a board. i want to use most everything still in there, i'm changing the video card, motherboard, cpu, and hard drive. obviously the hd and vc don't factor into the mobo decision.
i'm aiming for a athlon 1700 xp processor, but i'm not even sure waht the kt7 will take, i heard it can only go to 1.2. i'd still take that if it meets the rest of the requirements.
i'd prefer to keep my old pc100 sdram rather than buy new stuff.
don't want onboard stuff at all. i've got the video and sound covered already very well.
so basically i want a board that will handle pc100 sdram and have no onboard stuff. i want top quality for it, and if possible one that accepts the amd xp series processors.
any input from you experts would be greatly appreciated.
