Help choosing a motherboard

[Dave B]

I'm helping my friend build a new computer... He wants an Athlon XP 2000+, but wants to stick with PC133 SDRAM memory... Any mobo that supports that ?

Maybe this one...http://www.newegg.com/app/specification.asp?item=13-180-002

Why??
Why ask "why"???

The kid that lives next to me just built a system with an XP2000+ and he wanted SDram because of the cost and he went with an ECS board. I forget the model, but I know it was around $50.

I think that's the board.

I recommend the AK32L by Shuttle. They make good motherboards. AND if your crack addicted friend ever goes to rehab, there is two slots for PC2100, you know, the good stuff.
(Why won't AMD mobo's use RD RAM? That'd be sweet.)

Loads of people around me are very fond of ECS boards, that both use SDRAM and DDR... latest to add one in the collection was my dad.

You get loads of features at virtually 20% from other brands... (at least, you do in my country)
