Hi There...
I'm putting together a new system, but I'm stuck on which motherboard to get for it. I had initially decided on the Abit AT7-MAX2, but then changed my mind when I saw some people were having problems with the board underperforming, and I also discovered that Via and SiS had dropped support for DDR400 memory.
I then decided on an Epox 8K5A2+, but changed my mind because you only get one IDE cable, and the bundled software is pretty crappy - OK, bit of a lame reason, but most other boards I'd looked at contained NAV2002 which is what I wanted for the new machine, and some had several IDE ribbons.
So, now I need a new motherboard, and ASAP - some stuff is already on order!
The mobo will go with the following - if you have any comments about the items below, please let me know;
Athlon XP 2200+
Akasa Silver Mountain 2Q
512M Corsair XMS PC2700 (would've been PC3200 - see above)
Leadtek GeForce4 Ti4600
Antec 1080 AMG Case (ordered)
Western Digital 80GB HD
Maxtor 160GB HD (already have)
Teac 40x12x48 CD-RW (already have)
Pioneer DVD 106S Multiregion (already have)
Hope someone can help. Real soon!
