Title: Athalon MB suggestions
Post by: clerick on August 24, 2007, 07:55:26 AM

My primary PC MB went south a while back qand now my backup has followed.  I am still fighting with ASUS about warrenty issues but in the mean time i need to start considering a new MB.  To keep things cheap i want to reuse as many of my componants as possible.

Socket 939
DDR 400 ram
either AGP or PCI-e

Any suggestions?  I would like to stay as cheap as possible w/o buying crap.

I checked Newegg and here's what I came up with.  These are fullsize boards that meet your specifications (non-open box).  I'm not sure what your feelings are on buying another Asus board, but your pickings are slim since Socket 939 is an older socket that was not roadmapped to the newer AMD processors.  In order of customer rank highest to lowest on Newegg.
