Hello

I am wanting to build myself a new computer from scratch. I am looking for an AMD Athlon 1700XP or 1800XP, and an inexpensive, but good, motherboard with Onboard sound, Onboard video(32meg), Onboard LAN, and USB 2.0. Can someone please help me find these, and a good place to get it, that ships internationaly (to Canada)?

TCWO.com ships to canada at $50 dollars per pound!

NEWEGG.com does not ship to canada!

goodluck in building ur system.

edit: if u live in canada, check out www.canadacomputers.com they have the best prices in canada as far as i know.

yep, that's a great board with the features you want...built my mother-in-law a computer with that board and an xp 1700+...real nice little setup.

urban, err better read your post....kinda funny but might get you in trouble

ok i found some this one that u might be intrested in that canadacomputers.com sells (they don't sell the asus one that i posted above)

http://www.msicomputer.com/product/d...?model=K7N2G-L $168 CDN

it doesn't have usb 2.0 (u can't get everything rigth?) or u could try any of the new nfroce chipset boards with out onboard agp and buy a cheap video card? (u can get a cheap video card for about 50 CDN)

Would this be any good? It only costs $110 Canadian. It doesn't say how much RAM the integrated video uses. I would like a 32meg.

http://www.aopen.com/products/mb/ak77-333.htm

Is this any good also?

i don't think aopen is a reliable brand but the price is pretty good for what u get so i would say go for it and remember, buy from canadian site/store.

edit: im refferring to the second board u posted (AK77-333) and buy one of the cheap video cards because onborad graphics take a lot of ur RAM up and make ur system twice as slow.

My gaming rig runs on an AOpen AK7-8XN, and it is VERY RELIABLE. AOpen always seems to get the shaft around here, but I have used many of there products with no problems and would recommend them without hesitation.

to tell u the truth ive never tried a n aopen product so i don't really know about them. just posting what i heard.
