aight everyone. long time reader, first time poster. I've been out shopping for mobo's for my new puppy, a 1.4 t-bird and was hoping some of you could help me out with my decision-making. I just ordered a new tower to build in, and seeing as how I'm a college student, money's reeeaaaally tight. I was hoping to keep the prices kinda low (close to $100 as possible). I found a board that a buddy of mine might be able to get me a deal on, and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. It's an MSI K7T Turbo-Lite ATX VIA KT133a. Now, I've dealt with MSI in the past and have been very pleased, but I was just wondering about that whole "Turbo-Lite" thing. My biggest req's are 133fsb and SDRAM (no, I don't have the money for new ddr ram, so don't suggest that please, it just makes me feel bad when people rub it in : ) so if I could get some sort of love from ya'all, I'd much appreciate it. peace.

Here is some love for ya, you picked a great board from an awesome mfg. MSI is the best M/B for the money. As long as it has the KT133A chipset it is a great board for O/Cin and very stable. Every review praises all that every time. There is nothing wrong with SDRAM. In fact some people will get a better O/C with it. Good Luck man!!
