Good AMD board

sup3rcarrx8 · Oct 3, 2003

What's a good AMD board that's at a good price right now along with a good bundle of stuff and is very stablility for a budget of under $200? Thanks.

EDIT: It's going to be mostly for gaming, internet, and homework. Usual stuff. =)

man when is dfi going to add some mounting holes around the socket? its the only one listed by "angry" that doesnt have them. the one dfi kt266a board i have is probably the best overall board i have. but i gotta have the holes man!

those are probobly the best socket A boards...
but for under $200, i would take the epox 8rda3+ as opposed to the 8rda+. it comes with raid, sata, and dual lan... oh yeah, also vdd control for much better overclocking. although, neither of these boards come with active northbridge cooling so if you want insane overclocks, you'll have to fix that

The 8RDA3+ has many issues, imho the 8RDA+ would be a better choice.

Overall though if you want overclockability get the NF7-S. If you want features get the ASUS Deluxe, and if you want a motherboard that glows get the DFI Lanparty.

i'm hoping they fixed all of the issues in the deluxe... i know a LOT of us were having problems with that board...

Abit NF7-S. Good features, great overclocker.

NF7-S fa sho.

sup3rcarrx8 · Oct 15, 2003

Well then. I guess i'll save up around $100 or more to buy the board. Do you guys think i can get it anywhere for maybe under $110 retail? Thanks.

SickBoy · Oct 16, 2003

For $200 there are probably very few boards that are OUT of your price range. Now, if $200 is board+CPU budget, I would stick to the NF7 or NF7-S as those tend to stay on the inexpensive side of the good nForce2 boards.

sup3rcarrx8 · Oct 17, 2003

Would you guys think that getting a xp 2500 barton would be a great difference from my 1800? I think the 2500 only goes for a little under $110 nowadays.

Steven4563 · Oct 20, 2003

well seeing u only got PC2100 i think that will be limiting u more than your T-bred

my vote goes for the Abit NF7-S

sup3rcarrx8 · Oct 20, 2003

Yeah that's what i'm saving up to get. What stores online do you guys think has it for maybe under that price range? Thanks.

chasingapple · Oct 21, 2003

Whats wrong with the board you have right now?

sup3rcarrx8 · Oct 21, 2003

I just want a newer board just for the fun of "rebuilding" my computer and i also would like a new mobo color other than the "platinum" color lol.

Falcon-K · Oct 22, 2003

wish i had that kinda cash to get new boards because of the color of it!

Good AMD board
