choosing a mobo

[Guest]

hi everyone
i know there aren't many mobo's out there that meet the requirements i'm looking for but if someone can tell me the best one that would be great and some advice on choosing one too

mobo:
supports ddr 266mhz bus speed
built in raid support
agp 4x
ATX
supports ata 100

Nope you can't get a 266FSB motherboard with RAID built in. Your best bet is to get a addon PCI RAID controller card and use it with the A7M 266 from asus

well, sort of, if you mean ddr ram, then lavendure is right,

but i think when u said 266 bus, you meant the new 133 bus speed (which with ddr is effectively 266).

In this case, what you need in the via kt133a chipset. The abit kt7a raid has what you need and so does the asus a7v133.

However, the abit has 3 phase power, which supposedly is good for when you get higher Mhz cpu's , ie 1.5 Ghz, etc.
and the asus doesn't have it (at least i don't think so)

But neither of these boards support ddr ram, both use pc 133, which is very nice and cheap.

(i'm still trying to figure out which to get)

The new Asus A7M266 said Optional RAID0 on Asus webpage.

Take Care.
