AMD mobo 939 recomendation

siclilmonkey · 16 Oct 2007 at 14:33

Hey people im after a new mobo for my system.

currently im running an Abit AN7 socket A system with AMD xp2800+ and a geforce 6800 and 2x512mb crucial balistix ram.

im starting to have reliability problems wich i think are being caused by the mobo.

anyway i have a spare AMD 939 opty 146 thats 3ghz capable i would like to replace the mobo for a 939 system but it needs to have an agp slot and be capeble or reaching neer the 3ghz mark.

can any1 remember what was a good mobo that far back?

thanks for the advice if any1 can remember that far back

The MSI Neo 2 was prolly one of the better socket 939 AGP boards.
Finding one may be hard.

See here.
Very tweakable and masses of BIOS's to choose from.

I've never used one....VIA board..see here.

If memory serves, the Via chipset mobos were slightly quicker than the NF3 ones, but did not OC so well. I would have thought to get to around 3GHz with the 146 you would need a MSI K8N Neo2 plat or a DFI NF3 Ultra.

Have a look here and go down to the Abit AV8 via k8t800pro bit.

It will tell you pros and cons.

MSI has unexpectedly announced the K9A2 Platinum motherboard featuring AMD's 790 FX chipset (the new official name of the RD790). The board includes four PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots, support for 800/1066MHz DDR2 memory and HyperTransport 3.0. The board supports all AM2 and AM2+ processors, although a launch date is still unknown.
