    Synreal- I just put together a pretty tight system using the A7V8X (the one with only the lan and audio built in). I picked up the board for around $110 (maybe a little more)

    The A7V8X will support all the latest processors from AMD and will accept DDR400 (ie- PC3200) with the KT400 chipset.

    I had no problems putting in:
    XP 2100+
    512mb Crucial DDR (PC2700)
    Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (after disabling onboard sound)
    56K USR PCI Modem
    GF4 Ti4400 128mb
    +all the drives

    I didn't even have any issues that sometimes arise with the Via 4 in 1 drivers. I let the thing burn in for 3 days straight just looping a DVD and doing some other things, plus playing a few games and she didn't have a problem. The board is stable, well layed out, and has all the goodies you might want. The fancier ones even support the new serial ATA, or if that's not your style you can get the RAID version. Plus the BIOS is great for tweaking.

    Overall a nice board and worth the purchase.


    I'm not under the alkafluence of inkahol that some thinkle peep I am. It's just the drunker I sit here the longer I get...

        Asus mobo's are great. I have the A7V266-E and have no problems with it.
