hi all!
id like some of your views on motherboards.
i have always had an abit motherboard in any of my pc's that i have built. but resently, i have been thinking about what abit have releast, ax7 is it?
its taking away things that id use, like for example pararel/ serial ports and instead they are using usb. great, but i hate usb.
the great things about abits boards i feel are the softmenu which i feel totally at ease in using, i have no worries about getting a jumper in the wrong place or blowing something up, because its all safe guarded if you like...
im trying to build something that will be cheap, but fast and i will be using AMD as i feel that they are the best CPUs out that, regardless of price. intels have great memory bandwidth, but clock for clock, the AMD's, in my eyes, (opinion here, nothing more!!) are the best cpus about.
i would like to wait for DDR400, but im inpateint and i dont think i can wait that long, so a DDR333 board is for me.
abit have the kr7 which i believe is probably the best of abits boards. but i would like to ask the public on what they think, what they have used and what that they think is the best board out there...
im not sure about setting up a poll or anything, but could someone do that for me and put say, their top 5 or 6 makes of motherboard down and let everyone cast there vote?
id like to see what people would recommend, i like opinions and all, but i also like to hear what other people have to say about other things, so im not so limited as to what i would or could use.
if anyone reads this, id just be using it mainly for up to date gaming, the odd bit of video encoding, mp3 encoding, word, email, internet.. although i think that my k6 2 @ 450 will be able to manage a 56k modem... so i think that a 1.53ghz xp should be able to manage as well
well, thanks for all the people out there that might read this, and another thanks to the people that put out there opinions as well...
thanks muchly guys and gals
