rekr321 Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Im building a new rig: AMD XP 2000+ Motherboard ??? Samsung Orig 512 MB PC2700 DDR333 PNY Geforce 4 ti 4400 Soundblaster Live Platinum 5.1 2 Western Digital 100 gig 7200 Rpm Im am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a good KT333 motherboard, right now I'm pretty set on the MSI Kt3 Ultra, but I was just looking for any suggestions before I purchase. The Gigabyte GA-7vrxp sounded real good, but I heard some real horror stories about that board. Rekr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimeryme Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 MSI's is pretty neat, it comes with an optional boot light indicator that tells you what's going on during boot and helps in diagnostics if your comp won't start. That's what I got on a suggestion from the forums :) It's perty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris123NT Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Yes the EpoX is speed king but does have some stability issues :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nartac Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Anandtech.com also recently had a KT333 roundup. With both reviews, Asus A7v333 was the top 3 boards. I would get an Asus for it's known stability and overclock ability. I currently have KT266A so I will just wait for the KT400 to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Seb Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Asus A7V333. I have one. It rocks. 'nuff said. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quboid Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 I have a Asus A7V333 RAID and I'm happy with it. I don't know if it's the best as I've used no others, but it's satified me (which is no easy task :p ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
