Which motherboard should I buy?

[bgray77]

I'm upgrading my system with a P4 2.4C. I think I'm going to go with the Abit IC7 or IC7-G. First, what is the difference between the two (ie., is it worth the extra $50)? Second, does anyone have other recommendations?

Thanks,

Brian

If your going to get an IC7-G. You might as well save a bit more cash and get the P4C800-E

The IC7-G is $178 at newegg while the P4C800-E is $190, so I wouldn't save anything, and it's $60 more than the IC7. I will consider it though. Of the 3, which would you recommend?

Yup, that's right. I would buy the Max3 myself but it's over $325 here in Canada

If you're going to go with an Abit motherboard, definitely consider the max3.
Plus, it supports the upcoming Prescott CPUs.

I believe he meant, save up some more cash, for that particular motherboard.
