    i would say get a mobo with the KT133A chipset. there are several that are good, i have an Abit KT7A and i like it alot. also with the 1.2's coming unlocked you can set your chip to run at 9X133 which is a nice perfomance boost before you even start to oc it.

    GO with the Asus A7V133, Abit K7TA or the IWILL 266. YOu can go read all the reviews at www.anandtech.com They have reviewed like 7 of the 133A boards.

    ASUS A7V133, A7M266 or Iwill 266.

    The Abit KT7a has been removed from AMD approved M/B list so i am no longer recommending it.

    Check out www.newegg.com. They have the EPOX 8KTA3 for $117.00 and the MSI K7T Turbo for $115.00 and shipping is free. These are good boards for the money. The Abit, Asus and Iwill boards seem to get a little better reviews; However they cost a little more. I don't think you could go wrong if any of these boards.

    IMO that AMD approved list is a bunch of crap. my Enermax 330w is nowhere to be found on that list- now does that mean it isnt any good? i KNOW it's one of the BEST PSU's you can buy. that list means nothing to me.

    Wow Fats... Didn't think you'd stop recommend one of the best motherboards just because it isn't on some little list??? doesn't seem right to me, if it works, it works. No reason to not recommend it because it isn't recommend by someone else. Having your own opinion is nice.
