Hi all,
My bosses (in all their infinite wisdom) insist on sticking with s478 Intel's. I've been telling them for the past two months that the CPUs/boards are going to be damn near impossible to find and have given them several reports on upgrade options, but they're still "thinking" and want me to buy more of the old stuff :| So anyway, here's my dilemma:
We use the ASUS P4P800-SE board. I cannot find them anywhere -- I even contacted Asus directly and they provided me the price of $114 + S&H costs. We used to pay like $90~$100 for them, this price is too much, so I've been instructed to find a compatible s478 board that can support a 3.2GHz Northwood CPU, DDR memory, and has an AGP8x slot. O ya, it MUST be ATX also.
I feel like all my efforts are going to be in vain, especially after Core 2 Duo hit last week, I really doubt anybody is making s478 mobo's anymore. But if anybody can help me out, please tell me what board I can buy now. 🙂
