Want SLI and P4: which MB should I buy?

[DavidL6]

I want to put together an SLI rig with an Intel P4 CPU and RAID 0. I have some of the parts already (3.8GHz CPU, 600W Enermax SLI PSU, 2 X 74GB Raptors). Looking for MB recommendations.

MSI P4N Diamond is my recommendation.

There is some reviews around, but SLI on Intel is not that good.

Get this , save money , the only difference is the Gigabit Lan and Bulit-in Creative Sound Blaster Live Audio .


Peace & caio !!!

THANKS! That does look to be a better deal for me. I already have an Audigy 2 ZS card I can use.

Toms Hardware did a week long test comparing X2 to PD EE and the intel cpu was very unstable and it turned out to be the motherboard becuase the intel nf4 isnt mature yet, and still has bugs.

It has nothing to do with the Intel CPU, but the NForce chipset is not very good for SLI.
