I am looking to purchase my new motherboard and cpu for my mame machine. I want to keep it simple. I have heard good things about the ABIT motherboards and was looking at one of those with a celeron 566 processor. It looks like it will be close to $200 or so. I do not need onboard sound or agp support so I think I am pretty safe there. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks
john

For that price point I'd go AMD Duron (more) Tom61 8/24/2000 (5)

    - You should try Socket A, changes most of the problems you mentioned... Tom61 8/25/2000 (0)
