Best Athlon Motherboard ?

[Statman]

A friend of mine is seriously considering an Athlon, but I have no clue whats the most stable/most solid/compatible and best priced motherboard to get? If you guys/gals can list the top 3 choices with their estimated price, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I 2nd that notion on the K7T PRO2.
It would be the board I would get if I was making myself an AMD system.
You may also want to consider an EpoX 8KTA.

Here Here to that one! MSI has been excellent for me, i'm runnin the K7T Pro, and looking for the PRO 2.

My vote would go for Asus A7V. While a lot of people writing about different problems with that board, it is one of the best boards out there. I've been using A7V on two computers so far for almost 4 months now and not a single problem with either one of them.

K7T Pro2A. You get the ATA100 support, incredible stability, and MSI quality behind it. I wouldn't settle for anything less. You can even get the new K7TM with Ultra160 SCSI built in if you're a SCSI kind of guy

ASUS A7V, Abit KT7, or MSI K7T PRO. Those are the top three. Any will do quite nicely.
