Hey I'm looking to buy a new motherboard.

[war59312]

so whats the name of the processor

model #? pic info anything? anyone?

[harrytoole]

that's my mb

It's running an Athlon2100 xp with 512Mb 2700ddr ram and a geoforce4 4200/128mb video card

[Darkwolven]

Is that the new southbridge that is replacing the defective 686B or is it the pseudo only partly fixed and renamed 686B?

[Leech]

Hey Harytoole that is a nice MOBO - Now if it did'nt have onboard sound it would be even nicer

[war59312]

so what should i get?

1.) Athlon2200XP

2.) Athlon2600XP

3.) Athlon2400XP

Price:

2600: $297
2400: $193
2200: $183

Um is it worth it:



Just saw this:

(The AMD Athlon XP processors 2600+ and 2400+ are based on AMD?s state-of-the-art 0.13 micron technology, the processor core previously code named ?Thoroughbred.?)

Sweet:

So my board can handle everything so far:

well if you have the money get the Athlon2600XP it would be the fastest . although you can get the 2000+ for $107.00 retail or $97 OEM, from newegg.com. I don't see the 2600+ on there.

EDIT:

just found the 2200+ OEM on newegg for $156.00. You might not want to get OEM though. Because OEM doesn't come with a fan or documentation. and I don't think it has a warrenty, not sure about that though.

I would go for the 2100. For almost 50 $ cheaper than the 2200. The 2600 is still too much $. There is a 2700 coming out in October.
