Hi. Im getting the AMD XP 2700+ cpu and I wanted to know about a motherboard compatibility. I want to get the abit at7-max2. But the processor has 33 fsb and the mobo has 266 i thin k. So I guess its not compatible. Can someone give me some names of v ery good mobo's that support 333 fsb and the new amd xp 2700 processor. Thank you very much

I'm gonna have to say: #1 ABIT AT7-MAX2,VIA KT400 chipset AMD K7 ATX mainboard SerialATA,DDR 400,AGP 8X,USB 2.0 SoftMenu™ Technology Retail #1 ASUS A7V8X 1000Mb/s LAN, Firewire IEEE1394, Serial ATA DDR400 AMD Athlon/Athlon XP/Duron Socket A, Processor Mother Board. Cant believe someone has to make such a hard decision between the two. Just buy both =). By the way I do prefer Abit over Asus for no reason. Abit runs cool one example uh my Board is running at 20c idle lol ;). Asus same thing dunno =-). Both to be found at newegg.com

Or u can goto pricewatch.com and check out all the motherboards that suport fsb333 ---------------Godd Luck------------------
