Motherboard Recommendations

[jm]

I am upgrading from my ECS K7S5A v. 3 motherboard. I have an AMD 1700XP
CPU. 384 MB PC2100 SDRAM.

I wanted to get a recommendation on a new set up. Thanks.

You omitted the most important thing... how much do you want to spend?

And do you want to also upgrade CPU and RAM?

300 or less, yes. Thanks.

Take a look at the ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe (that is the exact model name, every
character is significant). Intel 875 chipset, SATA, RAID, onboard gig lan,
USB2. Best of all, you can use your existing memory. I am running Windows XP
Pro with 4GB PC2100 memory and P4/1.6A CPU. This motherboard will take all
existing Intel 478 pin CPU's through the 3.2GHz. Cost is just under $200.
Try newegg.com for your purchase, and the asus newsgroup for more details.

Is it true (I read it somewhere) that Intel systems are better for video
editing than AMD. Maybe it was because the Intel was using RDRam(?),
Rambus(?), but I am not sure.

So, I can use the DDR memory from my AMD Motherboard?

I run DDR in a couple of AMD systems.
