Hey gang, I would really appreciate some serious input regarding motherboards that support the AMD Athlon Processor... I have tried the Asus K7 with limited success. I personally have a Asus K7 board at home that performs flawlessly, but in the shop I have had countless problems with the Asus board. Startup and shutdown problems, instability, reboots, BSOD, you name it. I'm aware that bios upgrades are available for this board, but who wants to spend the time flashing a brand new board?????? What really irritates me is the fact that nearly every system I sell revolves around the Asus platform and I have VERY RARELY had problems. At the urging of a supplier I tried the FIC SD-11 Athlon board. The FIC board hits and misses. Again, you have to flash the bios of a new board to eliminate startup and shutdown problems.....geezzzzz... The FIC board is also extremely picky about the AGP cards you install and forget about trying to use an ISA modem....

What I'm looking for is a board that comes out of the box and runs the Athlon without an hours worth of tweaking. What boards are you using for the Athlon and which ones seem to be working the best.

Thanks, WildTech
