Where can I get a motherboard to support P4 2.8 ghz and 533 FSB?

A friend wants me to ask for him since he doesn't have internet. I don't know crap about P4's so maybe someone could guide me in the right direction.

check out prices on new egg. There is a few choices to make. First is what memory does he want to run Rdram or DDR.

All of the research that I have done pushed me to order the Asus P4T533-C Found this review. Seems ok. 2.8 with Asus MB

Another vote for the P4T533-C. It's probably the best P4 board available right now.

Your link is to a P4T533 and not a P4T533-C. Typo?

Sorry but I couldn't ever find the -C on the Asus webpage. So I just linked into the 533. Not really sure what the main difference is.

The difference is that they use two different kinds of Rdram. The P4T533 uses 232 pin Rimm 4200 and the P4T533-C uses 184 pin PC 1066 or PC800 if that is what you have to use. One does not fit the other. On the P4T533 you can use one stick of Rdram (32 bit) but on the P4T533-C you have to use the Rdram (16 bit) in pairs.

I would (and did) go with the P4T533.
