Hello,
I currently have a Abit KT7a Raid with a 1GHz AMD Athalon and PC133 512mb ram. I have had a continual fight to get the soundcard to work with it (soundblaster platinum live). I am now fed up with it and want to get a replacement board. Anybody got any suggestions for a board that will take my existing processor and ram and be reliable and work with my soundcard.
I don't play games I just edit video with Edition and use my email/web.
Recomendations on new or second hand boards that anybody would consider trusted and sound.
Thanks for any help
Ed
PS I think I remember Epox ones being sugested a while back?

I think that any remaining motherboads which support PC133 are by VIA will probably have the problems. The cheapest solution would be to get a new soundcard.
Is your CPU a 200 or 266mhz model?
If its a 200mhz, then I would recommend one of these boards...

I still have one running and its the most stable board I've ever touched, even with a SBLive! 5.1 Platinum in it.
BTW...it will take up to a 1.4ghz Athlon...200mhz model, of course.
