...I once had a Gigabyte motherboard socket7 5series for my AMD K6-2 400. The board was so outstanding in its performance (very rarely crashed) such that when I finally changed my CPU, I op for the Gigabyte brand again.
here's the new board
----------------------------------------------------
Processor:
Socket A for AMD Athlon™ /Duron™ 266/200MHz FSB processors, jumperless design. I am using XP1700 with it. You can overclock by its supplied software.
Chipset:
VIA VT8363A (KT133A) North bridge, with VIA VT82C686B PCI Super-I/O Integrated Peripheral Controller (PSIPC) & AC97 codec. Cheap and Cheerful.
Memory:
It got three 168-pin DIMM sockets , supports PC-100 / PC-133 SDRAM and VCM SDRAM and up to 1.5GB, 3.3V SDRAM DIMM. I like the fact that I do not have to buy new ram (I got total 1gb of PC133 memory, and I am...

...When I first received this parcel and opened the motherboard box, I couldn't believe my eyes, so many extras are included! A great manual was supplied, a massive motherboard spec's booklet, a list of other motherboards manufactured, and 2 CD's including Norton Ghost/Antivirus and the Drivers. The box was packed will and 1 x 80 pin IDE cable, 1 x 40 pin IDE cable and a Thermal probe was included.
The board supports some pretty hefty specs, as you can see:

...Some things are meant to go together. Horse & Carriage. Fish and Chips. Bread and Butter. Well, here's another on for the list - Abit's KT7-AMotherboard and AMD's socket A processor's.
AMD's Socket A chips come in two varaieties - the Duron, and it's big brother, the Thunderbird. Abit's KT7-Amotherboard has two options, the KT7-A, or the KT7-A RAID. Confused? Don't be! they'll all work with each other, so no problems there. The KT7-A is Abit's latest board using Via Technologies KT133Achipset. This chipset, and the boards using it, support the latest bells and whistles - 4xAGP, asyncronous memory timings, UDMA100, PC133 spec memory, etc. But the big difference between the A variants and the previous types is the A variants are ready for AMD's next generation of high speed chips. These chips will use a 133Mhz bus speed...

Hi, The model here, the ASUS M2N-E has proved itself over the last year. I built several systems using this motherboard and so far it has been well up to ASUS' usual standard and for me it is the natural successor to my previous one (A8N-E). My comments more
I have been using this product for a while now and it is a great mid range motherboard. It supports Intel Dual core chips, has 2 RAM slots and PCI - Express slots. This means that although the product is very realiable and relativly cheap, I would not... more
