AMD processor/motherboard recommendations?

[newbie001]

I'm looking to upgrade my computer possibly with an AMD. Anybody have any recommendations on processor/motherboard combinations?
requirements:
speed > 1gig
5 PCI slots
AGP 4x
DDR memory
Must work with an OO1

I use the Asus A7m266 motherboard with the AMD 1.4 thunderbird. I get awsome performance. Do a search for pt perfomance and ypu will get all kinds of answers to your question.

Basshead, I got the same thing with you, It really working very fine, it would goes even better when I got the money to buy another harddisk... rather than recording on the partitioned system disk.. >.<

Hi,
I'm running the slightly older A7V133. Also very solid, but not DDR. Go with the recommendation above I think...

Get the Athlon XP if you can it is faster so you can burn through your tracks without worrying about power get the gigabyte GA-7DX

I have my A7M266 up to 1.46Ghz and it is working great. Cooling it with a commercial watercooled case from Koolance. Good luck.

What did you give for the case?

I love my Soyo dragon board (KT266 chipset) and 1.4ghz AMD T-bird. Just put my info on the Davec test thread.

Kronee,
I think I paid around 230.00 total after shipping. It came with a Sparkle 300 Watt power supply. The new ones are around 195.00 without power I believe, but they run bigger fans and produce more noise. Will be interesting to see how loud they are now for our recording purposes.

To be on the bleeding edge of performance, look at the new VIA KT266A based boards, or the new nForce boards. These chipsets perform, in many cases, considerably faster than the old AMD 761 and KT133A based boards.

One of those boards coupled with a new Athlon XP would be faster than anyone would (at this point) ever need.
