Any one recommend a good mobo for the future???

[jkac123]

I have an HP 450 AMD. I would like to know what might be the best mobo or combo board to upgrade to? Keeping in mind I would like to use as much as I can from my current system. The changes I am mostly looking for woould be, CPU {upgradeable}. Large fast HD. Dual bios sounds like a great idea. It would be nice to start with maybe a more reasonable cpu and be able to upgrade to a gig or so. That would be it in a nut shell!

Thank you in advance for your input!!!!!!

Look at the Epox 8KTA3 board. newegg.com for $108 with free shipping. Start with a Duron and you can go to a T-bird 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 later on when prices come down. I have this board and it works great, very stable. I'm running a Duron 800@980

check out the motherboard forum here and do a search. There is a lot of info on this.
