Subject: [expert] Motherboards - again
The recent discussions of motherboards has raised a question with me.
There is always lots of chat about the mid to upper end mobos, but what
about the lower end?
If I were to put
damn, just about any _old_ board, better if you can find one without onboard
anything.

Hi,
I picked up your input to the motherboards thread and wondered
how you got everything to work using your K7S5A board.
I haven't got the plug and lead for the onboard video and bought
an nvidia Geforce2 mx 200 card. this works but above 800x600
the display is bigger than the screen area. which

If I were to put together a budget box, that could still run Linux, and
be useable, what mobos would you experts recommend?

Looks like everybody has joined the 'bandwagon!'
AMD is the way to go. They do as much, if not more then lower end P4s. They're also,
in some
cases 40% of the price. (Depending on speed of course!) I mean I bought 1.2 Ghz
Athlon for
like $120 I believe. That's with 266 FSB as well. I
Tim:
Mandrake Forum ran a poll last week that showed that about 60% of those
responding use some kind of AMD CPU; only about 35% use Intel (Macs and
others accounted for the rest). Evidently Linuxers aren't impressed by those
little blue critters in the Intel TV ads.

I'm shopping for a motherboard and CPU. At least a Pentium III and maybe
I'll spend the bucks for a Pentium 4. I'll consider AMD also. Any
recommendations? The more PCI slots

Although I haven't used the board myself, I've heard nothing but good things
about it - this is what I would select if I were building a system today.

Someone can flame me for this, but all the benchmarks show the 1.2
athlons whooping P4s for half the price. call it the chipset or
I would have to agree, I have the Asus A7V133, with a 1.4GHz Athlon, and
it cost almost half of what a comparable P4 would have. I stayed away
from the A7V266, when I was looking in the summer time, the chipset was
1st generation and had some problems.
The new Athlon XP's are the same form
