16972 2001-08-14 06:49:00 Hi, i am decided to buy a new motherboard, and want to know which is the best AMD chipset. Guest (0)
16973 2001-08-14 10:51:00 I can't be 100% positive about this but if I'm installing an Intel CPU I use motherboards based on the Intel chipset.

For AMD I use Via chipsets.

I've recently built one containing an AMD Duron 800 and used a Gigabyte Motherboard with the Via Apollo KT133A Chipset.

I have got the Duron running quite happily at 880 Mhz and CPU temp is steady at 31 degrees.

The motherboard I used was a GA-7ZX-H if that's any help.

www.asus.com

www.soltek.com.tw

Just to let you know for the best you should expect to pay about $470

16977 2001-08-18 10:11:00 Arstechnica has a mobo buyers guide, at
arstechnica.com

Their main point is to buy a brandname mobo, doesn't say too much on chipsets.
