      AMD rules

      Go for AMD and try to use the DDR memory if u can get it. Go to w*w.anandtech.com for exact reviews.

      go for a DFI motherboard. AM 75TC. VIA kt133a chipset. 5 PCI slots, i agp slot. + On board audio and video. w*w.dfi.com
      they are as stable as an ASUS board and yet cheaper. Thier support is incredible.

      Thumbs up

      I am running a 1.2 Athlon 266 Fsb with 512 DDR on an ECS K7S5A board with a 24X LiteOn and a 16X Plex, plus I am using an ATA 100 controller card to run my CDRom drive on.

      Fantastic! Just check out the OCworkbench site for what they say about this board. It is only about the £59.00 mark in the UK at the mo as well!!!

      Why pay more I ask?
