decent motherboard to fit P4 also a decent price

[faye]

Hi, which motherboard does that?

i DON'T need AGP8x yet, don't need LAN(i think)... hmm, any suggestions?

thanks

I would go with the gigabyte 8sg667 version 2.0. I'm waiting for the sis 655 boards, which should support hyperthreading, but they're at least a month away.

I'm seeing much positive user feeback from the Albatron PX845PEV PRO motherboard ($93).

That Albatron for $93 is a good deal.

around $110

The Albatron 845 PEV Pro as listed above is a good motherboard. Around $90 not too bad.

Does come with integrated LAN, but if you really don't want it you can disable it.
For the money I recommend it.

Does Albatron have a widely driver support?

don't want to worry about software update after awhile...

Kinda trust ASUS about driver update though... which model does ASUS similar to Albatron's PX845PEV PRO motherboard. ?

thanks

oh, i want one do support hyperthreading too..

oh ya, i remember the ABIT has "HighPoint Technology" as its build in controller card for RAID ...

does ASUS has something similar?

There are two types of raid ide's, highpoint or promise. I'd say highpoint will have more raid options. Check out the abit be7-raid at newegg if you need raid. That's the one Thugsrock tried recently. The gigabyte 8sg667 doesn't support hyperthreading, but any 845pe board will. Someone tested the 3.06 recently, and couldn't overclock well with hyperthreading enabled, so he disabled it, and got up to 3.63 without it. I wouldn't pay extra for it.
