The ASUS if you are looking for On-board Features, but at a price.
The Abit KX7-333R if you already have a good sound card. The KX7
sells for about $100. I chose the ABIT and have been very happy.
Some suggested the Gigabyte board. Question/Concern... This board
has a maximum multiplier of 12.5. With that multiplier and 133 bus,
you get an XP2000+. Since the multipier is via DIP switches, it can
not be upgraded(like a bios multiplier). So how can this board support
an XP2100+ (or for that matter any higher clocked AMD CPU i.e Tbred) ???
The 12.5 mulitplier via DIPs seems very limiting to me.
Abit KX7-333R, Abit Siluro Ti4400, XP1800+, 512MB Crucial DDR2100, WD 120 GB HD, Santa Cruz.
