Iwill motherboard, tubedude?

[mboud]

has anyone heard of any problems with the Iwill KA266 mobo? it's an amd compatable board that doesn't use the via chipset that everyone is so worried about.

tubedude,

i put your name in the title because i noticed you were happy with your amd chip, so i was wondering if you had any special input on this particular model.

thanks for any input in advance,

mboud

The AMD 760 chipset is of your main concern, its what you want. The board I have is the asus a7m266, its about $160 right now, and I paid $190 for it 2 months ago, so its dropping quick, along with processors. Asus is a fairly respected brand, and with this board you get next generation memory now. I'm not familiar with that board, though I've heard the name, never messed with it. Go to pricewatch.com and type in a7m266 and see how mush they are going for now. If you can get one for around $150, then you're rocking. If you do it, get your processor and memory both with the 266mhz bus capability. The memory will be known as pc2100.
