GMCDave Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Hey my LP NF2 Ultra B died and I'm looking to upgrade now. I've got a stick of 1GB DDR memory I'd like to use, so was trying to stay with a board that would support that. I also have an AGP 8X NVIDIA GeForce 6600 XT that I'd like to use unless there is an increadible deal that will get me a better video card in PCI Express with the MOBO. Can you guys give me a short, short list of the better used boards for my $. I do require IDE/SATA RAID 1 and would like to not have to buy an audio card if I can get it in the chipset like with the NF2. I've been told there were a lot of issue with memory managers with AMD64 along the way, so I'd really like to avoid figuring out what has/doesn't have all the problems I want to avoid. I'd just like a great head start on where to go so I don't get mired down trying to skip spending weeks that I don't have reading reviews. Wasn't sure where to post this. If you can give me links to reviews that point out the best/better and why you want this/not that, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.--DD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout21 Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 ok, you are in A64 life now, the board i have got is good but rare now..... dare i same a few bad words.... Asrock dualsata-II it has both AGP and PCI-E slots and has proved a fantastic clockers. or a ABIT AV8 3rd-eye with the via K8T800 chip set, There is also the ASUS A8V which is the same. they are your only options. (dont hurt me for saying bad words.......) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnie Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 GMCDave if you are upgrading why not an Asrock 4CoreDual-Vsta with a "lil" core2duo? and you will be using your hardware too..for the soundcard I recommend you the chaintech av710 pretty cheap card and very good sound, there was a review in a "audiophile kind" forum and it was better than some xfis and that kind of cards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
