Hello, thank you for your time for reading this post..

I build system for extra income, and most the systems i build are AMD base..... now i been confronted with a Intel Pentium 4 3.0ghz prescott , i have read alot forum and articles about this cpu being hot and all, but i read as well to chose intel board... since i know ASUS and ABIT make good product, i was going to chose them but instead i rather ask for help for this intel cpu... i've experience building intel systems but not this latest with the latest cpus and boards.. so such pain in the butt with the boards now, so i was wonder someone could help me out choose a board ? is stable enough and good enough to run games... this system is for my cousin, he made budge of $500 dollars for cpu,graphic,board,memory.. i already got the cpu and video card and memory the board cant cost not more then $100.

If you don't plan to overclock, you can get Foxconn boards using the 865PE chipset for pretty cheap. They seem solid, just lacking overclocking features.
