Hi. Tell me which of these you'd rather do:
Option 1:
Gigabyte GA-8PE667 ULTRA (845PE)
P4 2.4B C1 Stepping
Option 2:
Aopen AX4R Plus (E7205)
P4 2.26
Right now I have a BD7-II (845E) and the 2.26. The 2.26 is at 2.8GHz right now, but I don't know if that's the max of the CPU because the board undervolts to 1.62v Option 1 I would be able to buy now and end up costing around $175 (after I sell the 2.26). Option 2 I'd have to wait until I can get my hands on the board (end of the month? Early next month?) and cost around $200.
I need to get a board because I have a 1.6A laying around and I need a motherboard for it so I can give it to my dad, because he's still stuck on a P3 500, hehe. So might as well buy a new motherboard and give him the BD7-II. So which would you get?
