InvaderTrax Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 I've always been pro-KT, but anti-nVidia. How much is the FX5200? newegg.com has Radeon 9600 np's for $109. Everything else on that list sounds good to me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sYstEmATiC Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 someone else can explain better than i can but i have heard bad things about ECS when it comes to OCing. but i have never owned one, thats just what ive heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 If you must get a KT600 board (which, I would) get an Asus A7V600 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 (edited) icky icky icky! ECS (extremely crappy .*). don't do that to yourself even if you don't plan on oc'n. first off it won't oc, second of all it's a pile of dung board. IF you insist on kt600 chipsets, go with Asus or MSI (no one mfgr makes a "decent" board with it).

bigred Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 ECS claims to have oc'n features, but they don't tend to work well. The other part about ECS is thier prove track record of building CRAP. every so many models they build a nice board like the K7S5A. However they're not due for a decent board anytime soon.

Guest FxXP Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 And why KT600? Why not nForce2? You get AGP/PCI lock with an nForce2. There are cheap nForce2 boards out there from Albatron and Shuttle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvaderTrax Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 Yeah, I love VIA boards. Same performance but $30 less. I would get an A7V600 in the long run, but you're fine for now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
