For a P4 system, I'm awaiting Abit's IC7-MAX3. On board cooling for the 4 stage power is awesome! Also, they have done away with the parallel and serial port connections! Woot! Good luck finding one now. Newegg has them listed, but out of stock. Due in 3 Sep. Tom's guide was good, but as with all things computer, it is now out of date.

I will give you that the Max3 looks great and the colled two phase power is a great idea but i don't think there will be that massive of a performance boost. I will give it a maximum of 5mhz fsb difference and it doesn't have all of the amenities of the NFII.

Not a single Asus motherboard in that shootout - What's with that?

MY decision lies in 2 mobos P4C800-E and ic7-Max3 deciding btw the 2 is difficult which is the one to get any opinions?

Well [H ] ardo made the Max3 a must have...the only must have award this year. So the Max3 MUST be THAT good.

 

[SuPrEIVIE]

the max3 seems better than the P4C800-E so max3 it is

Wow - Just checked PriceGrabber and $228 shipped - That is one expensive board!
