i'm looking at upgrading my cpu and mobo, i currently have a chaintech 6ATA4 mobo with a p3 800-133mhz slot 1 cpu,

i was thinking of getting an asus cusl2-c mobo with a p3 1ghz or an amd thunderbird 1.2/1.3ghz with an asus a7m266 mobo with some ddr memory, what do people think would be the best move and please dont say amd cos they cheaper or whatever, money isnt a problem really just wnat the best for my money that s'all

...for eight years, the AMD T-Bird is currently the way to go for that speed.
 
well, i can tip you about a board i WOULDN'T have bought if i were you, the aopen ak73-pro. it should have been called ak73-problems. but athlon/tbird is the way to go, no matter what mobo you buy. it's the crispiest cracker on this planet at the moment. DON'T buy p4. not worth what you're paying. even if you've got some cash to spend. :D
 
thx people,
i have made my decision, to go for the amd 1.2/1.3 ghz tbird, but not sure which mobo to get, the only ddr boards that i can find at my local pc warehouse are the asus a7m 266 boards or something like that, but someone said not to bother buyin one, cos they have no multiplier control on them, can anyone suggest a place where i might be able to find a good board for ddr, i've searched 3 sites that i know of in the uk , all apart from one have ddr boards and the one they have is the asus one.

if anyone knows any good mobo retailers preferably in the UK, but if not else where will be ok

thanks
 
HI THERE, IF I WERE YOU I WOULD WAIT FOR VIA TO COME OUT WITH THE VIA 266 CHIPSET IN A FEW WEEKS, MAYBE IN 3 TO 4 WEEKS. DON'T BOTHER WITH THE AMD 760 CHIPSET IT SUCKS
