Suggested lowend 754 motherboards?
Hey Everybody, Would someone suggest to me a low end socket 754 motherboard? I don't really need all the bells and whistles, just socket 754, support for 2 double sided 1gig pc3200 ddr memory and pci slots with perhaps an agp slot tossed into the mix... Yeah, old school technology. It's going to pull some light server duty and the "other frills" will go wasted... I'm looked at the ECS K8M800-M2, but the thing requires single sided (single rank) ddr's if you want to populate the two memory sockets with 1gig pc3200 sticks, otherwise it down shifts to pc2700 speeds... Yeah right, easy and cheap to find... Anyway, anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance. -- Jerry McBride

I would look at the ASUS Motherboards because they are fast with value, I have seen them for under $100.

It has minimum bells and whistles, onboard gigabit LAN and Serial ATA RAID with 2 SATA ports. You will probably have a hard time finding premium quality single sided 512MB 3200 DIMMs. It's almost impossible to get PC3200 400Mhz performance out of most Socket754 mobos using double sided DIMMs. Chas.

If you aren't going to overclock, then any of them should be OK. If you are planning on overclocking, then you'll have to check the features of each board and get a later chipset. Any board with the NF3-250 should be fine. Yeah, old school technology. It's going to pull some light server duty and the "other frills" will go wasted... Then I doubt you'll be ovclocking. Any should do fine.

Yeah right, easy and cheap to find... The memory controller's in the CPU. Hard to fix.:-) Fry's has a board/cpu combo on sale til tommorow for $89. NF3-250 and Sempron 3100+. Should be just what you want if you have a Fry's near. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php
