If you don't plan on overclocking, I would just go with the Intel boards. They are pretty rock solid for stablity. If not go with the Asus boards as the previous poster stated.


I think if you look on anandtech's home page, they are some reviews for those boards under the mobo section.


Good luck.

I don't care for any of the boards you listed.

The preferred boards are usually Asus and Abit.

Have you read the reviews regarding Springdale and Canterwood mobos?

Like others have recommended, go for Intel (D875PBZ or D865PERLK) if you're not overclocking. They're best for stability, have good performance with standard settings, and are backed by a 3 year warranty...

If you're overclocking, go for the ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe or the P4P800 Deluxe.

Gigabyte is good.. I wouldn't be afraid to use that !

i got myself the msi neo 2 after researching most those mobo's - but i think ur mobo is a different mobo then the one i got cuz of your description- you should get the one in this review

tomshardware review

reading all that was the main reason that pushed me to choosing that particular mobo..


check out the review compared to the other mobo's- fast as if not faster then the 875p

i reccomend the ASUS boards mentioned earlier. you can find them on the net pretty reasonable, right know the p4p800 deluxe is prob the best performance for the price. i have heard alot of people like the Abit IC-7 as well.
