Is it worth buying a FIC motherboard?

[Guest]

If you have a FIC motherboard,
is it stable?
runs fine with games, and apps?
What graphics card would you recommend for it?
is it worth buying AZ11 instead of AZ11E (I mean, is the performance increased by using AZ11E?)?

From my understanding they are cheap (moneywise), stable boards with no trills. I don't think there is a way to change the multiplier on them to overclock, but you can change the FSB. If you don't really want to overclock and you don't have to have the fastest socket a KT133 mother board this is a good board. It is often used as a base test board and I believe Compaq uses them in their AMD systems. So its pretty good.

Asus and Abit run a little (2% maybe) faster and have more bells and whistles so they are preffered by avid overclockers.
