I am wanting to upgrade my system mainly getting ready for all the Racing
sims coming out N3, GPL, and others. What we be a good motherboard to use. I
would like it to at least be able to except P2 chips up over 450 for future
upgrades. I plan to start with a 400mhz chip, and I would like a 100mhz bx
board

Thanks
Mj

Go to the following link to see what Tom says. I went with the P2B from
ASUS. It costs about 170 bucks. His top 10 are all very good. Stay away
from Gigabyte.

Just make sure it has AGP for awesome graphics.

Get an Abit BH6, all the features of the BX6 but with 5 PCI slots and a
price of $100-110. This is the best price/performace of any MB.
Its also a great overclocking MB.

Also any chip above 450Mhz from Intel will probably need a chipset other
then a BX, Intel's next chip will be the Katami and will probably use a
different chipset, probably JX. So dont expect to get anything higher then a
450 on a BX, unless you overclock.
