New mobo for XP CPU - which one?
Hi all,
I'm thinking about buying a new motherboard, and wanted to hear if you guys have any good suggestions. It doesn't have to be Abit, but I've been very happy about my KT7A-RAID and BH6 boards. My needs a 1) Sockat A (I have a Palomino 2000+ I wanna put inthere) 2) Room for a Silent Viking 2 cooler (80x80mm) 3) Some way of connecting 5 IDE drives (RAID/SATA) 4) I don't want some cheap crap (like ECS) 5) OTOH it shouldn't be too expansive either I've been looking around a bit and found a few interesting boards: Asus A7N8X DeLuxe /GD ATX Soltek SL-75FRN2-RL Abit NF7-S The Asus card looks to have a passive chipset cooler as opposed to other two boards. That's nice (that would save me from buying and installing a passive Zalman heatsink which would void the warranty). Is the fan on the NF7-S noisy? Info and experience with any of these boards will be much appreciated, as well as as suggestions for other boards. TIA Devast8or -- Spamfilter activated To reach me via e-mail: ask me for an adress |
