Which Motherboard?

[LastActionHero]

I have come across a good deal for an athlon 1/1.1 gig. Which mobo will you recommend? I will be going for PC133 SDRAM and not DDR.

[Bruce]

Few of those mobos exist.
If it was me, I'd probably get the Shuttle AK12A. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=22&manufactory=1465&DEPA=1

Thanks for the link but can't I use the newer boards with the 1.1 gig ahtlon?

[guitarnerd]

Depends on the FSB is it 200mhz or 266mhz?

[Akalon]

This is what I have for my Athlon 1.4

Edit: The athlon 1.1 is a 200 Mhz FSB

Akalon: How is the performance of your mobo?

[Akalon]

Uh, don't know what to say really... I've never had any problems, no blue screens of death.

[LastActionHero]

I mean .. have you ever overclocked? Good BIOS? Missing features?

[Akalon]

Haven't overclocked but the BIOS is very good, don't know of any missing features.

Sorry If I'm of no help.
