I just upgraded Tim, and settled on an Epox 8KHA+ after a lot of skulking
around. It's VIA 266 based, and uses DDR SDRAM.

It's mind blowingly fast, one thing though, unless you have a tower case,
you may have to upgrade that too.. the Athlon XP Procs are *seriously* hot,
and the airflow in most midi towers just isn't up to it!

not to mention, the PCI implementation is flawless, gone are all the
niggles
I had trying to get two Display adapters, a NIC, an ATA10 Controller, and a
WinTV Card working without crashing...

on my previous (BX Based) Soyo 6BA+III, it was hell. on the Epox,
everything
just worked.

My PC has been living without a side panel since upgrade, until I get to
upgrading the Case!

Ian.

Subject: [ukha_d] Which mainboard?


Its time I upgraded my aging Pentium III 800EB with Asus P3V4X (Apollo
133A)
to something a little faster.

P4 or Athlon?

Which mainboard for best performance?

Rambus or DIMM?

Tim.
