I am thinking about builing a new system, probably a P4 2.0 GHZ, but I don't
know what Motherboard would be best for that processor? i would like
to have the RAID feature as well as VGA, etc.. the norms.. Hopefully a
good mobo for gaming and very stable.. not planning to overclock.. Oh yea,
and preference for RAM does not really matter to me.. Does ASUS/ABit or any
other companies have a good mobo out for this processor? Thanks!!

In need of advice, DKim81

well, you want a good stable p4 board with some RAID... but you wanna use it for gaming... so scratch the onboard VGA thought and use a decent 3D card. you will NOT be happy with an on-board VGA for gaming. I'd recommend something like an EPoX 4PEA+
it has the built in highpoint 372 RAID controller, which IMHO is better than the Promise controller. its a good price, and it's on the 845PE chipset. I am very happy with my 4PEA+ now since I've had it up and running for a while. I recommend it, it has ALOT of features, and it's cheaper than the Asus.
