Gigabyte GA-8IG1000 Pro or Intel D865GBFLK ?

Also, Intel makes motherboards, although I'm not sure if they make many "consumer-oriented" boards. Yes, they make consumer mb's and I hear they are very good. But they are not for overclockers because they don't have those features in their bios. If you just want a solid mb and don't intend to OC then Intel would be a good choice. I do NOT need to overclock. I just want stability, reliability, flexibilty and support. I want a mobo (AMD or Intel) with this spec: full ATX integrated sound SATA LAN. (preferably 2+ IDE sockets but prepared to use PCI card) I also want integrated video because I think it wii be cheaper than buying a separate cheapo graphics card. I have come up with these two boards and both use Pentium: Intel D865GBFLK Gigabyte GA-8IG1000 Pro Is one obviously better than the other? They both seem to use the Intel 865G chipset. The 30 to 40 UK pounds which a graphics card would have cost can go towards an Intel cpu. So instead of a 2500 AMD Barton I could get the Pentium 2400. Is this a good balance? Am I making sensible trade-offs? |
