  • I need some motherboard suggestions.

    Hey.

    My fiancee's father wants to upgrade to a lower end PIII/Celeron/Duron/Athalon System from his Pentium 200 MMX.

    He doesn't want to spend much money and here are the options.

    It has to be SDRAM (He already picked up two sticks of Cas 3 PC133 memory in anticipation)

    Must have at least 1 ISA slot for his ISA US Robotics Modem

    Intergrated C-Media 4 Channel Sound or Equivilant

    Intergrated Video + AGP (not a must but would like for future upgrades)

    any more than 2 PCI slots.

    ATX Form factor.

    I can order most board brands but the catch is that he is looking for one under 150 dollars Canadian if possible...

    Oh and it doesn't matter what brand it is... (Biostar, Aopen, Asus, Gigabyte, Iwill, Soyo, Microtrend, etc....)

    Throw a couple of model names and numbers at me... I already have one in mind but I won't tell you what it is...

    Ok.. I will give you a clue.. .it has ram slots and a PCB...

    read this, it doesnt have everything you need, but its a lot cheaper (and at least as fast) as the competition, i think i posted this here quite often in several threads over the last few days

    if i were to get a new mobo, i would get this one.

    you could also decide to wait for the nforce, which seems to be quite cool, even if it is a nvidia board
