I'm about to buy a new motherboard and now I'm down to 3 options:

ASUS P4G8X deluxe
MSI GNB MAX-FISR
Gigabyte GA-8INXP

Which one do you all recommend, and why?

Thanks a lot guys.... btw, this is my first post here

Haven't tried any of those boards, but from my experience in the past with Intel and AMD cpus I would go with Asus first, Gigabyte and then MSI.

MSI has good boards, but some annoying little problems then and now.

Welcome to AT.

1st choice = ASUS
is always set up to be a OC friend
Many posts about the board in this forum and others

Okay, for the people who said Gigabyte, could you tell me why?
Most people I asked told me to get asus because (they said) asus is more reliable
but I was also interested in the gigabyte.
So, please tell me why this model (GA-8INXP) is superior to asus?

Thanks a lot!!

Here is why :Q

P4-2.40B @ 3.710 Ghz with air Cooling

Best means may things.

Most reliable, no real emphasis on overclocking
#1 Intel
#2 Tyan


Fastest Overclock & generally reliable (but not up to the above), and supported well
#1 Asus
#2 Aopen (generally a tie for #2, varies by board)
#2 Gigabyte

I have to go with Asus for their support, I RMA'd a board last month that I bought refurbished, and they sent me a replacement in a little over 3 weeks. Abit did the same when my be6-II died.
