Graham, I think you might actually find some nice AMD specific motherboards available now. There is a new one from MSI now using the AMD761 and a Ultra160 SCSI onboard. Expensive but very nicely equipped for high end usage. On the other end, take a look at the ECS K7S5A motherboard with the SiS735A chipset. Very nicely reviewed, very inexpensive and touted to be one of the best for overclocking of any available. Comparable to or exceeds the VIA KT266A chipset plus it takes either SDRAM or DDR. There are some good ones from Tyan, always a good choice, and ASUS also. Although from the complaints I have seen from users of the ASUS boards just on this list, I would probably hesitate on those right now. Good Luck on your quest!

Hi,
I need to buy four new machines for the office to be used as workstations, and was after some guidance on the motherboard and CPU. Will probably equip them with 256M of ram and the Matrox G450 Video card and 20G IDE Hard disk.
Can anyone recommend a decent motherboard that works without problems. A few of my friends have had problems with the AMD processors and recommend the P4. I think the main problems is getting a stable board that is specifically designed for the AMD processors.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
