Mobo Help please...

J.T · 23 Jan 2006 at 16:28

Hi all,

I am building a new PC and need a cheap but good Mobo to keep me going until the new R580 based ATI mobo's come out.

It will need to be able to take a AMD 64 4400 X2 Dual DDR 400 Ram and an X1900xt or xtx Graphics card.

All help is gratefully accepted

Id just hang on for the RD580 boards personally as they are due around now, the new Asus Crossfire board based on the RD580 Chipset is rumoured to be around the same time as the x1900's.

I have seen posted in the Graphics card section that Gibbo says the new R580 Mobo's will not be out until March.

I can't wait that long, sorry.
