I've just recently put together a new system using an Epox motherboard and a 1.1 GHz Athlon "T-Bird." It's a screamer. No incompatibility problems. Only thing that might be a conern is that the Via KT133 chipset doesn't support ECC. So you wouldn't want to use this as a server. But memory errors are rare enough that it's fine as a client. --Brett At 04:57 PM 4/10/2001, Peter wrote: >I'm planning on upgrading my computer [at least the motherboard] > >My question is what have you guys found to be good motherboards? >Or which ones should I definitely not touch? > >I'm looking for one that can handle about an 700+ mhz processor >Currently I've been looking at AMD [Athlon and Thunderbird] as they >are much cheaper than Intel Pentium III's. > >So what are good mobos for that kinda processor power?
