Motherboard Problems please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dereck]

I just recently bought a KG7-RAID. I am having a b1tch of a time getting it to work with all my hardware. I am about to return it and i was wondering of any good motherboards to get.

I am now getting a pentium motherboard. I know most people don't like but i want the stability of pentium. (not saying athlon is bad)

I need a motherboard that can support mass specs. One which can use DDRam and can use the best of processors. If possible i would also like raid. I need to order this soon because i am in dire need of computer workage.

I was also wondering what is the fastest Pentium III processor?

Does anyone out there own a Pentium motherboard??

Don't bother with Pentium IIIs. They are a dead end.

Have a look at the ASUS P4B266, or wait just a little longer and get the P4B533.

I want a motherboard that will support all types of pentium processors. Up to the pentium 4 (2000 Mhz)


I was just checking out the motherboard asus and it is pretty nice. I was wondering what processor can it handle up to also. I'm not sure how do tell but would i need slot or socket processor for that motherboard?

Well, there are two types of Pentium 4 processors. A Williamette (first one has 423 pins and 256k L2 cache) and the Northwood (the most recent and it has 478 pin socket and 512k cache). As far as I know, they are not compatible in the same motherboard. Also the Northwood will be the next speed increase, so getting a motherboard for it would be what you would want to do. Alas, no Celeron or Pentium III will fit in any Pentium 4 board. I hope you kind of understand what I have said. You won't find any single board that will support all the different Intel processor's, they simply won't fit. So pick what you want, but I would recommend something that might have room for upgrades (but no guarantee's because Intel tends to change sockets and chipsets pretty often lately).
