Micro ATX mobos
Moderator: If this thread should be else where please move it.
My bro's bday is coming up and I want to build him new pc, how ever I'm on the budget and was thinking of making AMD based pc for him. Since he is also not hardcore gamer I'm sure some micro ATX board will do just fine, as long as it has AGP port and 3 pci slots he will be fine. Since I never build AMD system before I'm trying to find out what AMD micro ATX boards are out there and what chipset is the ultimate. For now nforce chipsets look nice but do they come in micro atx form? Also if any one know a site with micro mobo comparisons I would greatly appreciate a link. Thanks, Faba |

I just built a system with that very board. It is *not* suitable for gaming(Athlon XP 2000+, 512MB PC2100, 80GB Western Digital HDD 8MB Buffer. Scored a shade under 2000 in 3DMark2001SE at Default settings), but it is very stable, and easy to work with.

ditto What Alienware said. Not a gaming system by itself.
Alien check your configureation though.. I got 6,000 with it. might check how much mem for the Video pipe or something.

About 2/3; a Micro-ATX board is square, not rectangle. However, Micro-ATX is still compatible with standard ATX chassis.
