Pentium 4E and Abit IC7G configuration
Can anybody tell me if the following configuration for an Abit IC7G
motherboard will work with a Pentium 4E (Prescott) processor and how far it might be able to over clock. Does the Pentium 4E come with a heat sink or do you have to buy one separately ? I've heard there are issues with the IC7G and memory compatibility but the articles I read date back over 6 months so have the issues now been fixed or are there brands I should avoid. I know that the latest BIOS update supports the Prescott but has anyone actually set one up and got it to work. (All this will run on a UK mains supply ) Novatech Crest Athlon/Pentium4 MidiATX Tower Case 350W PSU 4x5.25", 8x3.5" (6 Int.)

Pentium 4E 3.0 1MB S478 800FSB Box
the 'Retail Box' (or sometimes just 'Box') CPUs from Intel come with a suitable heatsink and fan. StarTech Premium Copper Pentium 4 CPU HS & Fan so there's probably no need for the above, as the Intel is a very capable unit 2x Crucial Technology 512MB 184Pin DIMM PC3200 DDR (from DABS) ? you can order direct from crucial (www.crucial.com/uk) - this way you *know* that the memory is compatible with the motherboard CTX EX951F - Display - CRT - 19" - 1600 x 1200 / 77 Hz - 0.21 mm in my experience the CTX brand is outperformed in all areas by the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 454. it's about the best 19" crt money can buy. is your intended motherboard the IC7-G max 3? Thanks in advance. |

Thanks for the advice. I'll check it out. is your intended motherboard the IC7-G max 3? No. Just the standard. I cant see any difference in specification between them apart from cooling and the max 3 does not have parallel and serial sockets meaning I cant use my printer or modem. Thanks in advance. |
