best motherboard - Club CDFreaks

cosmicray · 26-07-2001

I am looking to up grade my motherboard soon as I am limited to 550mhz with what I have at the moment. Fancy a AMD 1 gig so what is the best make of mother board to go for, & still be able to upgrade again later. I have pc133 ram so want same m/board. Not that keen on on board sound etc would rather use pci's. Is it true that gigabyte arn't so clever? Thanks in adavance

At the moment MSI has proven themselves time after time, for both stability and speed of motherboards.

ASUS has a great name in the field of motherboards, a great reputation for good support and great stability.

At the moment I would bet my money on MSI motherboards, when it comes to AMD.

I myself own a Asus A7V133-Raid and I'm enjoying it allot!

But if I would buy a new board now, I would go for a MSI aswell.
Hearing very good things about it!
When the time was there for me to buy a new board I wanted the MSI better then my Asus, but one day before I went buying this board I heard that the MSI had a bug, so I went for the Asus!
