Epox 9NPA-NF4 Ultra S939......lightening fast, almost as many overclocking Options as the best DFI boards and rock solid stable, came with a full toolkit and Mosfet cooling back in those days.....well 2005, seems like a lifetime ago!

MSI K7N2 delta L that with a tb 2000+ and a ti4200 64mb

oh and my amzing DDR266 which could do ddr 400 @2.5-3-2-5 :roll:

that was some crazy ram

btarunr · Dec 26, 2007

^ That's the board I was saving for...ended up with the KT4-Ultra due to lack-of-stock.

I was dying for it, cda :toast:

BloodTotal · Dec 26, 2007

ASUS A8N-VM CSM, had no problems with it so far at all.

ha i got it after my ecs K7S5A pro decided it was in the mood to die...lost the onboard audio then the IDE channels then i got the MSI mobo

and promptly blew the thing up trying for a 100% oc on my 2000+ hahaha sadly enough hte mobo dies and the cpu still works to this day!

btarunr · Dec 26, 2007

Are you sure the 2000+ was a Thoroughbred ? Or was it a Palomino?? The Palomino's are worse than oven-fresh Prescotts. We used to be frickin scared of them...and ofcourse the POS stock-cooler it used to come with.

snuif09 · Dec 26, 2007

since this is my first build and i actully knew how computers work for 2 years ago(im 14)
my first mobo and my current is my favorite an asus m2n-e sli

it oc's good

@snuif
You built a rig at 12? Man! that's so cool!

Disparia · Dec 26, 2007

First dualie, Asus P2L97-D.

Had two P2-333Mhz, which was the max at the time. Great for Windows NT and BeOS, not so much for Win9x (which was only booted into when necessary).

Wow! A lot (or maybe all) of us seem to have an AMD board as our favourite

I almost picked my first Intel board(Socket 478 Soyo DragonII P875 Platinum), but it lost out because it has virtually no voltage controls and would only get my Northwood 3.0 up to 3.2GHz stable.

And it HAD to be an ECS board that caught AIDS... :roll:

devguy · Dec 27, 2007

My current Gigabyte 790FX is my favorite of all my motherboards (even better than the matx Tforce 939-6100).

PuMA · Dec 27, 2007
