Completely agree with Straffo n Rosco.  Nforce boards the only way to go with AMD XPs especially if you overclock since they allow the PCI n AGP busses to maintain normal bus speeds of 33/66.  The Asus deluxe boards also have Soundstorm onboard sound which works great in AH.

HeHe , Rosco the 2500+ is $75 now.

Hmm we all have pretty much the same so far +)

Dunno how well the XP2800 overclocks myself.


Love it

Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro running an AMD 2600XP+ (2.1GHz). It ran great till the other night when it was replaced with an Athlon 64 3200+ (1MB cache) on a Gigabyte K8N Pro board. That system shows me the biggest jump in a system since I upgraded from a 486/100 to a Pentium 200MMX.

I use the Nforce2 Abit NF7-S which is at least the equal of the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe.  Both boards are very good.
My office computer has a XP 2500+ Barton @ 200x11 in it.  With an ATI 9600 Pro and 21" CRT, it plays AH2 nicely (when no one is looking).

nForce2 chipset, on the MSI K7N2G-L.  If you're building an AMD box go with an nForce board.
