Hi; Since Anne included some of my insanity in that attachment I guess I'm entitled to an opinion. ;) Recent installs/builds for friends, starting with a "budget" system for a neighbor: ECS KVSOM (Duron 1300) working acceptably, no AGP slot. ABit KT7 (different models Raid and non -R) Excellent performance Asus various with AMD and VIA chipsets as above Tyan and Soyo boards, dredge the archives. I haven't built any systems with either for almost a year. I've also used various Gigabyte boards for systems. More than adequate, but as always I tend to stay away from the bare budget boards 'cause I don't like having problems. The last three systems I stuck together for people were based on Asus and ABit dual processor boards. They use the same AMD chipsets and both are more than adequate, the Asus seems to perform slightly better in the real world. Stay away from anything with an N-Force chipset....for now. Unless you're comfortable building and patching for the nv-net (ethernet) and other gotchas. My son has an N-Force2 board that works amazingly well, but I still wouldn't recommend them for anyone that classes their skill levels at "Gnubie."
