Best AMD board...

Post by Joel »

...For under $75.

I know the "best" is the NF7, I want to know what the best budget board is. Needs to be able to OC decent, like taking the 2500+ Barton to 3200+ stable.

Nice board there, but I forgot to mention, it needs to have SATA and RAID. :o

What about the A7V600-X?

It's got all the stuff, but does anyone know if it OCs?

I'll bet that thing is a beast. Man, a 2.2GHz Athlon is a "3200+" then a 2.73GHz Athlon would be....
