best mobo and Ram to complement the AMD 2500+ Mobile chip

baldyguy · 11-July-04, 07:57 PM

I'm looking to build a new system for my cousin, and right now I have about $600.00 to spend... I already have a hard drive and a case... so right now...

I'm set on buying an AMD 2500+ chip and buying a Radeon 9800 Pro...

So which is the best mobo and Ram to complement the AMD 2500+ Mobile chip?

Well ill tell you the standard mobo and CPU combo is the XP-M 2500+ and an NF-7 reasonable price decent OC's all around a good combo

I think sum was trying to say a good motherboard would be an ABIT NF7-S. I agree with that choice all the way, that is what I run in my system. On the RAM front I like anthing from GEIL, Kingston, Mushkin, or Corsair. If you get the preformance series from anyone of those companies you will be doing well. Just be sure and get matched sticks of 256mb or better.

Agreed about the NF7-S for overclocking, but the AN7 is better layout wise and IMO the way to go if you aren't worried about overclockability.
