Ok, I'm about to build a new pooter and I haven't been keeping up with the
latest and greatest. My current computer is a XP 1800+ on an Abit KR7A mobo
with a gig of ram. Anyway, it looks like the XP 2800+ 333 Mhz. is the best
chip for the money on Pricewatch.com. @ $115 so I was wondering if any of
you could point me towards a good motherboard that would compliment that CPU
as good as possible for a decent price. I have already bought a Seagate 160
gig SATA 150 hard drive and some Kingston Value RAM PC3200. The RAM came
with 2 256 meg sticks per package and I bought 2 packages of the stuff to
get a gig. So I'm looking for a motherboard that will work well with that
type of RAM and with a XP 2800+ 333 Mhz. Oh yeah, I don't want on board
sound or video since I am a gamer and already have a good video and sound
card. Unless the on board video card was quite a bit better than my current
GeForce 4 4200 Ti with 128 Megs of RAM. I will also say that ever since
building my last computer I was very impressed with that Abit motherboard so
it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all to buy another Abit mobo although I am
still pretty open minded about any brands of motherboards. I've pasted the
specs of that RAM below in case that made any difference about which
motherboards would work well with that type of RAM. I'd also like to hear
about any review websites that have tested motherboards that would work well
with the other parts I want to use. Thanks much in advance.
