New Mb 2 Choices

[ir_cow]

okay well im getting a Motherbord for my 3000+ laying around it was in the current computer, than i lost it and found it months later. same MB as the one in my sig for my 3700+ now i was thinking of getting a GIGABYTE or MSI with Nforce 3 chipset for under $60

 

 

so its either

 

GIGABYTE GA-K8NS Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce3 250 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $57

 

BIOSTAR NF325-A7 Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce3 250 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $49

 

Or

 

MSI K8N Neo-V Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce3 250 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $56

 

 

whats going in it is

---------------------------------------

AMD64 3000+

40gb IDE Hdd

Geforce 2 Ti

Corsair 512mb 3200

Ethernet 10/100 (depends how good onboard is)

(These are parts i have laying around

 

any ideas foks or a better choice? i heard ULi is good. or should for $60 get a onboard video with a PCI-E slot for later use since i currently dont have one. what about SIS chipset or VIa

I am not aware of any socket 754 with PCI-X but I could be wrong.

 

If it was my choice out of those three I would take the Gigabyte

[ir_cow]

PCi-E MB

 

they have nforce 4 too now

[bigred]

personally I'd stay clear of the Biostar boards

 

if you want PCI-e and something to tide you over with AGR (works with AGP cards), the MSI K8N neo4 is a good choice. it's cheap, works well, and has an NF4 chipset.

I'd suggest the Gigabyte. I've never had any problems with Gigabyte stuff, and it's a really good price too.
