[yOp]

Hi,

I bought my pc about a year ago.. everything was to top the line then and now my motherboard has gone.. What motherboard should I get.. I have a 1.4 Athlon (non XP) and 768 DDR (don't know the speed.. but DDR was farily new at the time.. so probably pc1600 or pc2100).. I had the kt266 chipset in the old board .. should i just get the same chip (different board though.. had nothing but trouble with that blasted msi).. or should i get something newer and do the newer boards suppost my ram?

Thanks

Your DDR RAM will work on today's any DDR chipset based mobo.

I recommend MSI KT3 Ultra2 (VIA KT333 chipset based) for you. IF you don't like VIA chipsets, then get MSI 745 Ultra (Based on SiS 745 chipset). A good cheap nForce board is ASUS A7N266-VM.

I'll second that MSI 745 Ultra.

just to be different ill reccomend the epoxy 8k3a or 8k5a boards (5a has USB2.0)

the boards are cheaper than others, yet very fast and highly stable.
