Hi,
I think I've nearly figured the specs out for a new system (first new one in 3 years =)). Duron 800, Leadtek Winfast GeForce 2 MX, 128 meg PC 133 SDRAM, etc.. However, I still haven't figured out what mother board to use. Obviously, I need a Socket A mother board, but from what I've read (on both Asus's and Aopen's sites), the boards only support generally from 500 to 1000+ MHz (I'd really like to know what the '+' means...).
My plan is to upgrade the CPU in another 12 months (not the M/B), so I'd prefer a M/B that will support a 1.5 GHz Duron/TBird at least. I don't know much about hardware, so I'm definately *not* gunna OC it, but I heard as if you can just drop in a new CPU fairly easily.
What's the general maximum CPU speed different brand Socket As can support these days?
Also, I'd prefer a M/B without inbuilt sound/video too, cause I'm getting the GF2MX, and a seperate sound card. Any suggestions on a board? (considering this, and the speed preference mentioned above)
Thanks for any help!
