first off i know this a widely asked question about motherboards,and
you
can only spend so much time googling a subject before getting frustrated
and
bored.so iam sorry in advance for asking a question that has been asked
over
and over.
like i said iam building a computer strictly for games.i plan on using
a
p4 3.2 or 3.4,1 gig or more of ram.there will be some networking
involved
because this comp will not touch the internet.it will be connected to
another comp that will do all the upgrading.then files transfered over.
the motherboards iam trying to decide between are the abit IC7-max3
and
the asus p4c800-edeluxe.i have been doing online research for about a
month
and i cannot decide.am i overlooking a board that may be better.like i
said
this is strictly for games.i do not know how to overclock, so that will
not
affect my decision.thanks in advance.



I have had good luck with tha Abit board, I am running it in one of my
systems and 2 of my friends run it. No problems whatsoever, I love it.


Can I ask if boards from Gigabyte are considered to be of the same quality
as Asus & Abit ?
