XP & T-Bred MOBO

[xspdr]

I have to buy a new motherboard this week and i'm undecided. I wish someone here could help...

What's the BEST mobo for AMD CPU's and which supports Athlon XP and might support T-Bred though?

Please post the 2 BEST ones in your opinion cuz i HAVE to order it this week!

Thank you for your help!

T-breds will run on all current boards that XP work on...

I have an MSI KT3 ULTRA ARU and LOVE IT, fast, stable and freegin PACKED with fun stuff (sound, bluetooth, usb 2.0 and a slew of other usb headers)!

EPOX sounds like the overclockers dream...

ASUS sounds like an expensive solution if you want RAID

I can't say anything about the others since MSI, EPOX and ASUS are the only boards I've ever owned, although I do have a giga-byte KM266a in the mail ;-) for my 5th rig ;-)

Epox EP-8K3A+ can hit high FSB, so does the Soltek SL-75DRV5 , both with the KT333 chipset.

Will there really be that much performance boost with the 400 chipset as opposed to the 333 chipsets?


I vote for the Epox if you want some Major overclocking.

 

[Kato]

your bandwidth between the cpu and memory is higher...and with DDR400 too. and i think the Kt400 will support AGP8x too, so i guess there will be a major boost in performance.

and oh yeah, WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!!

Kato: Thanks for the welcome, and I guess it makes plenty of sense. The only thing that made me wonder about it was I didn't see a whole lot of difference between the 266 and 333 besides the overclocking factor.

and oh yeah, this post should be posed in AMD Motherboard Forum.
