I'm going to replace my mobo next weekend, I want some suggestions.



Im looking for an AMD board, anything intel will be instantly ignored.

I'm also not a rich boy, and Soyo's are almost impossible to find in Canada ;)

But I need something better than my POS ECS K7S5A, I'm tired of my 133 HD's only running at 66, and being limited to either 133 ram, or only PC2100.



I'm not really wanting to spend more than about $100(CDN)/ $150(USD) on a board.



Current parts, CPU AMD 2800+, 512 SD133 (yuck), Seagate 20gb, and a Seagate 60gb, 400w P/S, 26" tower, LG Burner and a Creative DVD, GF2 64 mx440.

Shrug, I have a Soyo Dragon Platinum 2 (its intel) But They do make dragon's for AMD's. Best board ive ever owned. Check out like www.buyxg.com or www.gameve.com (where I bought mine) Its awesome to me.

Soyo Dragon's are next to impossible to find in Canada.
