Is The Board Any Good

[Livy]

delivery aint gonna make much difference as i will be getting ram and cpu and cooler aswell, so both will be about the same, so its either dabs or ebuyer. i'll research into cheapest for all parts when im totally ready to buy.

also on another note, is it better to buy an oem processor or retail.
with the retail you get a 3 year warranty and cpu cooler, but is it worth the extra or am i better buyin oem and getting a seperate cooler.

it will be about an athlon xp, at least 2000

I personally would go OEM and get the cooler separate cos its usually a fair bit cheaper and I haven't had much trouble with parts breaking while in normal use (they're usually either broken when they arrive and so easily returnable or they break after ages by which time they probably need upgrading).

i think im gonna go with the asus A7N8X-X, the fsb runs at 400mhz, but would it work if i put and athlon xp2200 with 266 fsb, also pc2700 ram aswell.

Yes.




And that is one of the best boards to go for. Go for an nForce2-based board like that one.
