I plan on purchasing an AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 2.0 ghz thoroughbred processor, and I need a new mother board that is compatible with my new processor, I just wanted to here some of your input/suggestions on which motheboard to buy. Thanks.
also, anyone would agree that the NForce2 chipset is the way to go.. therefore making your choices a bit slimmer, but there are plenty of good boards.
other good ones are:
Yeah, I'm kinda wondering what motherboard to get also. I was gonna go with a7n8x first, but I decided 8rda+ would be cheaper, but now i hear a lot about abit nf-7 rev 1.2. So I guess why is the nf7 1.2 so good? as compared to 8rda+? I plan on getting a 2100+ and overclocking so i figured 8rda+ would be the best. if someone could explain what's so great about the nf7 1.2 that would be helpful.
Being something of a contrarian, I've been working with the Biostar KT400 motherboards -- I have found them to be a decent performance bargain. And, with the right memory/CPU combination you can overclock them a fair amount.
Just did that with an XP2100 Tbred chip -- and was surprised how far I could push it.
And, (and this probably just me), I prefer the front/back orientation of the CPU slot -- makes it easier to swap out fans and CPU's for me.
