i recently decided to get a P4 1.6A CPU, and now i need to decided on a mobo to go with it. i realize that there are quite a few boards to choose from. i've taken into account the price or RAM, and it isn't an issue at this time. so i'm just looking for the chipset with the best bandwidth, regardless of whether it uses RDRAM, DDR SDRAM, or something else. i'm not sure how many chipsets exist for the P4 presently...the last time i checked, there were only two, and that was ages ago, so i'm assuming things have changed quite a bit since then. once i decide on the chipset, i would like to find a very reliable, solid, overclockable mobo.
i currently have a PIII 700E @1GHz on an ASUS CUSL2 mobo. i chose the CUSL2 b/c it seemed to be most people's choice as the most reliable, stable, and overclockable mobo for the PIII, and also b/c it used the chipset of choice, the i815E. some people argued that the ABIT SA6R was the best, and others recommended a MicroStar mobo. undoubtedly, these were the top three mobos for the platform i wanted. i am looking for the same thing here...opinions and recommendations on the best chipset and mobo for my P4 1.6A CPU. thanks...eric
