Best Intel Chipset

[Armageddon415]

What is the best intel chipset. I plan on getting a dual p3 processor and i will mainly be using it for gaming.

for 100 fsb 440bx(good for 133 too but at an overclocked agp bus) or 815e. Dont get dual cpu's for gaiming. over 95% of games are not multithreaded and will not benefit from the second cpu.Dual mobo's are expensive.

ya spend ur money on a good amount of ram and a nice graphics card

Like the other two said. Don't get a dual CPU system for gaming. There are almost no games that take advantage of mulitple CPUs. The extra money would be better spent on a good video card and RAM. And dual CPU motherboards are bloody expensive!

I'll toss my agreement in

Dual CPUs are nearly uselss for games.
AFAIK the only game that really uses multiple CPUs is Quake3..and it's graphics engine is single threaded...so your 2nd cpu can do sound and network? Keyboard polling? Not much...

There are lots of good reaons to use dual CPUs, but for games 1 faster one is better. Get a 1Ghz P3 and an i815E
