Wanted to find out what you all think is a good MB for an AMD Athlon 1000 or 1.2 proc.? I figure a little older board will be less expensive than the new boards of today.
And forgot to mention I've got pc133 ram for it.

    There's a few there to choose from. Board is discontinued so the best place to still find them is ebay. Good luck :)

    ECS MB's have VERY VERY POOR QC. Consider yourself lucky if it works!

    DFI Makes a cheapie Socket A - AZ30-TL
    Biostar M7VIZ-A23
    Soyo KT600

    Cheapy MB's that will run that proc.

    Thnx IT, That gives me a couple more choices to look at. The Biostar & Soyo look pretty good. The DFI is a little lower on the features ladder than the others.

    I still have an MSI 6330 from when I had a 1 gig tbird which still folds to this day with a 1800AXP and 640 mb ram. Has a VIA kt133a chipset.

    Checked em IT, They all have DDR ram slots. Won't work.
    rapture old buddy, Thats one that will work and it's only $29.95. MSI K7T Pro I guess there's not many boards with the 133 chpsts around..
    Here's another one I found-- ECS K7S5A.
    Still going to look a bit, just to make sure I get something I can be satisfied with.

    Well for as long as i've been building pc's, and that's some years, ( i'm 44 so take a guess how long) all the ECS boards i've had worked flawlessly. Like any other company pc parts do fail. One company i would never use is Biocrap.

    Nuff said-
