General J October 8, 2003 Share General J Member October 8, 2003 Was a newegg special. Looked decent to me. For the bundle I mean, with the athlon xp 2500+. Comments? Suggestions on a better deal? I am starting to think about piecing together my own computer as money comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL October 8, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member October 8, 2003 Not too familiar with Biostar brand but it sounds like a pretty decent deal. I would make sure when you got your CPU that it is a Barton class. Also, the mobo will support 400MHz FSB so it should give you nice upgradeability.

[Mmmm]Homer October 8, 2003 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member October 8, 2003 I have a Biostar board I bought a few months back, runs flawlessly, but not this model. It's an M7VIG Pro for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa October 8, 2003 Share Playaa Member October 8, 2003 m0m that's the board I was telling you about at the Lan....the one I had purchased for a friend. it's a VERY nice board and it wasn't the board that had gone haywire (the processor was crap we're pretty sure) one thing that irked me is that even though it's nForce2 chipset it did NOT have the onboard GeForce4 video card.....the onboard sound card makes pops every once in awhile (after he got another sound card the pops stopped) for no reason (as in no sound going and all of a sudden you hear a staticy "POP"). but other than that it's WELL worth the price (it'll do 3 gigs of ram)................................ and now that I look I don't think those ARE the same mobo's...the one I was talking about has 3 1 gig ram slots while that one only has 2...... hhmm... either way to me biostar seems like a good rising company with good products for cheap...
