Hi! I'm about to purchase a new PC...could you please advice upon the best motherboard i can choose from? Thx

I am about to purchase a new PC with brand new parts (New Motherboard, Processor, Fan, Power Supply, Video Card, and last but not least...a new casing), because my actual computer is giving me loads of trouble....it is an AMD Duron (tm) Processor, 701 Mhz, 256 MB of Ram (SDR)... i was just wondering which Motherboard was the best between AMD 64-Bit Sempron and AMD 64-Bit Athlon...what is the difference?Hi!

Basically, you want a motherboard capable of meeting your needs, and the power of the processor you put in it! Here's an excellent source for you, with some perfecrt examples!

Sempron is the ';celeron'; of AMD if ya know what I mean... My opinion is AMD isn't all it's cracked up to be, but that's only b/c I have seen more people need repairs that actually owned AMD.Hi!

If you plan to assemble it yourself, I have no idea.





Usually, I like to recommend people decide what they intend to do with the computer, then go find an off-the-shelf model that contains excellent software to do those kinds of jobs. Then they save money on puchasing add-on software or devices.
Athlon has faster frequency speed than Sempron. Any MOBO made by AsusTech, EPOX will do... I have those MOBO with me as of now and they are still both runnin for 4 years now without replacement.
if u want a amd board, go for a AMD athlon 939 socket motherboard as it supports dual channel ram.


go for 2X256 or 4x256mb ram of the same make and model, u activate dual channel. it really improves the speed of the pc.


you can purchase MSI rs482 board, gr8 graphics and morden mother board with gr8 price, i'm using that and its awsome as comapred to its price. its a future ready board.





i'm a PC pro.
That depends on the CPU you want to use.


A friend of mine just built a computer using the dual core AMD XP-4800 and found the best MB to be the ASUS at this time (check with Tom's Hardware).

well if your not into budget i prefer you use INTEL boards, it has hyper threading technology which makes your system into boost, long lasting lifespan and heat free unit and geforce7 for video card atleast 128mb and 1gb of ram DDR2. for the power suply pic the highest voltage i think 450 watts.





if your into amd choose the 64bit-sempron for best computing performance.





try to find a board that has ';PCI EXPRESS'; it has more speed and quality than agp
