[Martin11581]

i screwed up my first post sorry!\

anyway, i am building my first system! Yes i am a NOOBY!!!

Well so far i have bought AMD Athlon XP 3200+ (i want to overclock it) / 2 ddr 512 from kingsTon or something. I have fans, an ebay atx case, heatsink, CD ROM, floppy drive, vid and sound card!

What i dont have is a motherboard!!! Can someone help me decide which one to get and a cheap price! Or does someone have one they dont need! It has to be SOCKET A and able to handle my cpu

Some recommended i should get the soyo SY-K7VMP2 but i cant afford 100 bucks for it!!

Someone please help!

ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe $90 or ABIT NF7-S2G $68 at Newegg.com..
If you want to overclock i would suggest the Asus I'v had one and it was good..
Not sure how the abit's overclock but im think they'ed be ok.
Check out newegg.com find a board in your price range then go to a search like google.com and search for some reviews.. ;)
Or im sure one of the big brains hear can shead some light.

If you have spent your money on a 3200+ and 2 kingston 512mb stick, and you want to be able to overclock it. Then it is worth getting a good mobo which will work the rest of your kit to their best.

Asus and MSI both make great boards for overclocking.

I quite like this mobo (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=5563918487&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=79379)

But wait for some more expert opinions

Hey that looks and sound nice but what is the cost of it in US dollars!! Will they deliver to the US?

ABIT NF-7 is a good board, but from personal experience the Gigabyte 7N400-L is a great board with features, and is pretty cheap, also overclocks well. but i have to say that a 3200+ generally doesn't overclock well as it's pretty much used all it's head room since it already starts with a 400 FSB :(

[Martin11581]

THE BOARD FOUND HERE http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...-475&depa=0

CAN THAT BE USED FOR OVERCLOCKING AS WELL?

Also i tried looking for the Gigabyte 7N400-L that was just mentioned on newegg but i cant find it, can u post a link here if u find it for me thanks

Your link was no good. Try it again with this:

BTW - I know you're new to the forums, but either go to the right sysopt forum to look to buy something, or ask for some advice here on buying a new one - this isn't the right forum for that kind of question

i did post the classified but one of the mods moved the thread here! WHY? i have no idea, but he/she thought it would be better here perhaps
