Hi there,

I was looking for a mid-range mobo for an upgrade. I'm looking to get an Athlon XP (<>2Ghz-ish, nothing too fancy), GeForce 4200, and some new RAM. Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent board, good brand (I'm sick of the type of problems I've been getting with my current no-name board) nothing too dear that 'matches' the above.

I already have decent soundcard, networking, etc, so I'm not bothered about on board peripherals and they tend to be pretty crap anyway.

Also, is DDR ram noticably better than standard SD stuff?

Cheers
Joolz

 

im running a kt4 ultra with raid and bluetooth, costs about £90 and supports all the new stuff, fastest ram speeds highest processor and 8x agp

 

ASUS A7N8X, and yes, DDR2700 or higher.... CAS2... quality branded..

 

new abit max2 board i quite nice. tweekers delight i hear.

cheers

big sinky

 

Dominic is right on the money, Asus he recommends is tops!

 

The Epox 8rda/+ is considered just as highly, if not slighly higher too

Both cracking boards tho

Cheers,

Nick

 

Thanks peeps - those nforce2 mobos seem to come very recommended and are now top of the shopping list. My current system won't know what's hit it (Athlon Slot A 600 + GeForce 1 )

I got the ASUS A7N8X and it's the best M/B I have ever owned
