I’m about to start ordering parts for my new system and I have been reading up on different mobo's and just recently read the
www.tomshardware.com review of 14 mobo's and it looks like there are a couple that seem really good.
Right now I am leaning to get one of these two mother boards...
#1.
Abit KR7A-133 (specs- VIA KT266A, Four 184-pin DIMM sockets support PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM, BIOS SoftMenuTM III Technology, Two Channels of Bus Master IDE Ports supporting up to four Ultra DMA 33/66//100/
133 (RAID 0/1/10), 1 AGP slot, 6 PCI slots)
#2.
Soltek SL-75DRV2 (specs- VIA KT266A, Three 184-pin Dimm sockets support PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM, BIOS AWARD Plug-and-Play BIOS, 1 AGP slot, 5 PCI slots)
So far the only interesting thing I have read is the review and benchmarks off of the tomshardware.com site. I have also read up on the boards off of their own websites but like their going to say anything bad about their own board. So right now I like the
ABIT board it seems like it has extra features the
SOLTEK board does not, but in the bench marks the Soltek beat out the Abit every time and the abit came in as an average board.
So what do you guys think? Help me out here and tell me which mobo you would pick or anywhere else I might be able to get info before I decide to order my stuff.
I am going to be running the mobo with a AMD Athlon XP1900, & 512mb DDR stick. Thanks in advanced.
