    Overclocking?

    Get the Asus or Abit

    No OC?

    Go for the K7TPro from MSI. It is -rock- solid, available, and inexpensive. It just doesnt do much in the overclocking department.

    I dont OC, and so I went with this board...

    And it's got that funky 45 degree angled Northbridge chip! Wooo

    Hi Tupac,

    The Gigabyte is a solid choice and it's a good bit cheaper than the ASUS. It's not as fun in terms of options... but it does the job. For our budget AMD system we recommend the Gigabyte and for the high-end we use the A7V. Both are very good boards.

    alex, which Gigabyte board would you suggest?

    I have about 1 month until I will finalize my computer specs, and then buy the parts.

    i've built a few tbird systems and almost all of them have used the a7v. it's a higher end board but i don't like to go skimpy on the mobo when i've already got a tbird on the desk, in the long run it just saves some pains and well worth the extra money.

    My friend has Gigabyte MicroATX (7zm I think) and it works well. And the damn thing is bloody cheap. Like US $110 or less.
