Motherboard Help
« on: December 27, 2002, 03:46:26 PM »

Well, for christmas my dad was supposed to get me a new motherboard, but I never picked one out.

The thing is, I bought a Geforce 2 MX400... and my motherboard was crapping out because it couldn't handle it and the Soundblaster Live X-Gamer I had (IRQ conflicts)...

I just need a motherboard, that won't give the Geforce 2 shit, and has good onboard sound (so i dont need the soundblaster)

I might be able to pick up a shitty soundcard.. but some things are important to me (being able to record "what-you-hear" sound, playing mp3s, being able to record through two things at once)

Also, pentium...athlon, I really don't care. I want it fast, and I want a lot of RAM.

Basically, a good goal for this motherboard would be to play Warcraft 3 with little lag.

I'd say go for the Asus ASUS A7V8X with onboard LAN and sound. It's the 9th one down on this page for 144 dollars.
