Ok, one quick post before bedtime.
I've been planning to build my first Post-Pentium class machine for a few months now. I've been reading the posts in the community for awhile, but I'm still undecided on which motherboard/chipset to opt for.
I want an AMD machine, and originally had my eye on the ECS K7S5A board. I don't plan to OC, but it would be nice to have a stable pc platform for another two-three years. I plan on running WinXP and playing games.
I've got the case, Hercules Soundcard, GeForce3 Ti200 from VisionTek,.. I would really like some opinions on what mobo to buy. I'll buy from a retailer around here instead of on-line. I'm also on a budget of sorts.
If I had to get an Asus K266 board, which one do I get?
I'd like to hear opinions about different Soyo Dragon mobo as well,..
Like I said, I'm undecided,.. if I hear enough about Abit, or Gigabyte, I'll probably go that way.
The floor is open to you, Gentlemen.
PS. I'm running (bought, not built) a 333 Celery with a Banshee,.. it plays my five-year old daughter's Disney games nicely..
Read, read, read. Learn - learn - learn.
