I need some opinions on which 875P board to go with for my P4 3.0C, Prolink 5600FX Golden Ltd, 1 gig of Corsair DDR400 (non XMS), dual 120mb Seagate SATA hard drives, and Xaser 3 case. I bought an MSI Neo FSIR2 but it would not boot for me even after changing monitors and swapping in slower memory. It turns out several other people on the MSI forums had similar problems and lots of problems in general so I've decided to go with a better brand.
1. Abit IC7-G since I've heard great things about it and it seems to be very reliable and they have great tech support.
2. Asus P4C800 although I havent heard a great deal about it, they're a well known name and I've heard a lot about their Nforce 2 boards for AMD.
3. Gigabyte or DFI, I've heard a lot of good things about these especially Gigabyte but they seem to be more expensive than even the Abit and I've got no need for SCSI.
If anyone has experience with these boards or can recommend another brand that would be most appreciated. I am interested in doing some overclocking later on but for right now I'd just like to get everthing working! I dont want to make the mistake of not getting a good impression of the board before I order like I did for the MSI. I want something that will actually boot up out of the box and give minimal problems since this is my first custom system.
