I stay away from VIA chipsets personally, I have never had a good time with one yet.

I use and swear by Asus. And I use AMD CPu's.

Like anything it depends on your budget.

Anyway heres a new board and its a champion but its dual processor !

http://www.asus.com.tw/mb/socketa/a7m266-d/overview.htm

Theres a index there to have a look at some single CPU boards
 
I am running an ASUS p4t, an ASUS p4t-e, an ASUS CUSL-2, and 2 ASUS p4b's. They have never let me down, Obviously, if you want to run an AMD chip, these boards won't work for you but I highly recommend ASUS for whatever chip you choose.
 
I agree. I've run the gambit on motherboards (MSI I'll never buy again because I had on that just died for no apparent reason and it was an issue that MSI knows about and admits to), but for the money, ASUS is definately where I'd put my investment.
 
I'm pretty pleased with my Tyan unit. Although my particular one may be out of the price range, they have a good line. Can't beat Athlons either.
 
Asus and Athlon...sorry to be repetetive and repeat what is repeated by others...I will quit repeating now.:D
 
I have a VIA chipset and a AMD XP. I love it.... No trouble at all.



SOYO DRAGON+
XP 1800+
256megs DDR


Runs like a charm !!!!!

PS. its also overclocked to a 1900+


:cool:
 
I don't quite know what pounds convert to but my next board, coming soon will be either a Epox or Shuttle... The kt266a is probably the one Via exception...

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
