Been out for a while, need a new motherboard

Hey guys, nice to see you all again, I've been out of the computer scene for awhile, but now I'm upgrading, and I need your oppinions. I'm going to upgrade to 512 megs of either pc3200 or pc3500, along with a GF Ti4400, and probably an xp 2400

I don't see any use in upgrading from the xp 1600 I have unless, its going to be worth it, and a revised core, with a posible 500mhz o/c sounds good worth it to me. Well the only thing I haven't really decided on is what motherboard to get, if I even need one. Right now I have the Epox 8k7a, and it works fine, Do you guys think that this old board is going to pump enough power to a 2400, 512 megs, and a ti 4400? If not what do you reccomend I upgrade to? Kt333 based? kt400, is it even worth going to the kt400? I don't know, thoughts and suggestions welcomed, thanx

Or should I get an asus p4s533, p4 2.4gig, and 512 megs of 2700? Decisions Decisions.

Wait for Intel's Granite Bay line of boards if you want to go intel. If you want AMD, the Asus A7V333 and Abit KX7-333 are great boards for not too much dough.

I you wqnt to play with the p4s, there's a new stepping either out or almost out which overclocks a little better

Look who comes crawlin' back....

I would personally upgrade the motherboard since it can only use PC2100 RAM. IF you get a new board you'll be able to use new ram to its full potential. I too have the 8K7A(+)
