BEST PLATFORM for the end of line AMD XP CPU"S

sinse I have included ram in the following post, I hope it was alright to post here, if not ...sorry.

XP END OF THE LINE…What is the HIGHEST PERFORMING CHIPSET?

I’ve read articles at www.tomshardwareguide.com and am more confused than ever to take advantage of the price drops in AMD’s XP processors. Socket A VIA KT400, 600 & KT880?

With comments about the KT600 single Ram Modules, being increased in performance against the Dual Ram of previous chipsets, and dual ram being limited to FSB; as well as running 2 modules of 400mhz ram side by side creating prob’s; then the release of the KT880 back to dual ram ect, I have no idea any longer on what is the best chipset to finalize a system for the XP processors?

Sure I have to consider the extras in a board like serial connectors for hard drives and the like, not to mention this or that factor always seemingly overriding the latest tech, ect ect.

Essentially, I am looking to get the most performance possible out of the xp processors while all the glitches can be worked out of the 64bit series and its following chipset, software, ect.

Seriously; what would you guys recommend for the best platform, for an end of era XP processors and what considerations would you give to RAM, or any other config issues that should be addressed.

I do apologize if I have made no sense. I used to think I knew something about computer hardware, but now looking back over the last 18months; its become very overwhelming when considering what goes with what to get the most out of ones system.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated

I am using an motherboard based on the via kt600 chipset and have no problems with it. It all depends on what you are planning on using your pc for if you are looking to really do some work I would aim for the newer end motherboards with raid based on the viakt600 chipset or an gigabyte, soyo motherboard how ever though the decision is up to you it but for the motherboad reccomendation I can only go as far as I have used (viakt 600 ) and so far I have been happy with the viakt 600 chipset feautres.

Before you make an purchase inform us so we know how things turn out.

Thanks man,

looks like the KT600 gets more replies. Yep I,m thinking of putting the system to work so what you said makes sense. I,m happy to keep seeing the KT600 getting replys on other forums I have been to, and can only conclude that the previous Dual ram boards to the KT600 are not worth all the hype.

Thanks again
