Please stop and reply (please).

I'm asking for advice, but I'm ready to buy know.
Would like your experience and opinion on a good choice for a mothboard where I would like it to run:
AMD 2GB card (possible expansion in the future would be great)
Win XP
Western Digital 120GB caviar drive
IBM 60XP drive
Pioneer DVD Rom
Teac CD writer
Radeon 7500 graphics card
512MB DDR Ram
USB 2.0
Chipset ? KT333 ? Please advise ?

Would like quality, reliability, expandibility (if possible), a good onboard sound card, if not, I'll get one.

A good vendor to purchase from would be GREAT as well.

Local company who I have purchased from before, has only Azza, which I have not seen many good things about, and MIS, which I HAVE heard good thngs about, but they only carry these lower end ones for MIS.

Newegg has the shuttle ak35gt2 for only $74. Highly recommended vender. I've purchased several mobos from them in the past year. Another recommended vender for price and selection is mwave.

I'd go for the MSI 745 Ultra, with SiS 745 chipset.

I would stay away from AMD and KT333 if I were you. I have just posted my problems with my XP2200+ and KT333 boards. I have found about 30 other simalar post on different forums.

While I am using KT133 myself, I might look at the Sis chip set.

But as for the processor, I going to stay AMD, have used them for years and find them extremely reliable and the best processor on the market.

What problems have you had ?

Thanks

Haha..
These 30 posts aren't even 1% of people who has this chipset.

Thousands of people has KT333 and it's working fine for them.

You can't tell someone KT333 isn't reliable\good just because of your experience+'30 posts'.

I have the ASUS A7V333 and I haven't had any problems with it.

Buy MSI KT3 Ultra2 (KT333 chipset, $79).

If you don't trust VIA, then buy MSI K7N415 Pro or Asus A7N266-C (nForce 415-D chipset, $100).

If you are in a tight budget, then buy MSI 745 Ultra (SiS 745 chipset, $64)

Great suggestions !!

Would you mind recommending a reliable vendor to purchase a MSI or a Asus. I am definately leaning toward the MSI.

Thanks a lot

Jon
