Which New Motherboard?

Okay, after dealing with Win2k not powering down my system, I've decided
that my 4 year old mother board is about ready for retirement... Since
I've had such good performance (generally) out of it, I'd like to stay
in the Gigabyte family...

I'm currently running a GA71xe with a 900MHz Athalon, 256MB SDRAMM (I
know I know...) and a GForce 4TI. What's a good current board to move
on to? I'm not a gaming fanatic, so I don't need a Super Board, but a
good price/performance ratio is good, since I DO play game occasionally.

Thanks.

Ryan

Go for GA7VAX

You can find a refurbished GA-7NNXP on NewEgg for 88.00. I have 2 of them
here running 24 X 7 with not a problem. (bought both of them from New Egg
refurbished!) I Have 2 WD Raptors in Raid 0 in my main rig and 2 Segate SATA
drives in Raid 0 in my other. Both systems are top notch and cause no
problems. In the main rig I am running a 2500 barton at 2.305 mhz and in the
other an XP1700 DLT3C at 2.205 ghz rock solid.

Stable...O/C great...Good Audio....Great value at 88.00.....
