Gigabyte MoBo's do not let you overclock at all, or support faster Memory go
for a Abit..

Gigabyte mobo comes with overclocking software 'EasyTune4' included and a
chapter on overclocking in the mobo manual. However, I only use the diagnostic
functions since I'm not an overclocker and don't recommend it. Unfortunately,
the software doesn't allow me to underclock.

Hi,

Having had such great replies about which processor to buy, now is my
chance to ask about which motherboard.

I've decided to get a Pentium 4 3.0E Ghz 800Mhz Prescott CPU, but my
supplier (who will be doing the actual system build) has loads of P4
motherboards. I've narrowed it down to these 9.

Needless to say but that statement is simply untrue.

Don't talk to me about VIA USB controllers!

Of course it is. Sorry guys, Woger is the village idiot from my local
computer newsgroup, nz.comp, where he has posted under over 100 different
alias' in the last few years as people killfile him. I don't know how he got
out, I thought we had him locked in the basement.

Yea, he likes to make *ass*umptions about others. VIA has a bad
history and only a dumbass would choose a VIA chipset over the 865 and
875 chipsets for a P4 build.

What do you know that the experts don't? All the experts agree that the
taiwanese chipmakers are holding their own against Intel as far as stability
AND performance goes. I'm waiting . . . enlighten us . . . -Dave

Take a look at this review, which includes the lower priced
Athlon 64 chips.

That's what you get for running an unsecured 802.11b node, Misfit.

Ok, and???
On a lot of tests they keep up well.
Hmm?
FX53 = around 800 or 830$
P4 3.4 C EE 999$
Which would you rather have?
I'm starting to do everything I can think of just to get a FX53, but I
might
just get a FX51 and overclock the **** out of it.
I still have a water cooler, all I need is a new water block and I'm all
set.
