Wide open question on Motherboard
BigJ:
I'm cueing on your phrase "... very stable ...". Fagedabout new ASUS mobos as their QC has gone titsup. Read the howling over at the ASUS NG yourself. Otherwise, I run two rock_solid, robust P4 systems. 1)Older and less able is a DDR333/400mHz_fsb ASUS_P4S333/P4@2a. No HT support, but will upgrade to the 2.6_P4 & loves RedHat. 2)Newer is an INTEL which supports HT and the 3_gig (3.2??) P4. Bulletproof WinBox. Quick, forgiving, modestly priced and flexible, either system will make sleeping peacefully depend only on the galfriend ... ray hartman ****************** John wrote: I have built a few AMD systems. I have always used epox motherboards and been very satisfied. I had read at some time though they built a better motherboard for AMD than pentium. I am thinking of building my first pentium system. I guess everything will be very similar except mounting of heat sink. I know this is a wide open question, but I was not sure what the overall opinions were on a very stable motherboard for a pentium, Looked at intel, asus, epox, any other suggestions would be helpful. THinking of building a P4 system and get the chip with hyperthreading. Anything else You folks could enlighten me on would be appreciated. Thanks |

I've been through a slew of Asus & Abit boards. These last few years, the
Abit boards bite the dust after a year (no overclocking). After switching over to Intel boards I discovered what "troublefree" computing was all about. I've had great success with their D815 and D845 series of boards, and am looking forward to getting a D875 based solution topped off with a nice 3ghz 800mhz FSB HT enabled Processor. My present D845PEBT2 is a real performer with 100% stability. I also love their bios flash method......download the file, run it from within windows, reboot....and play. My AMD experience has been great with MSI. "John" wrote in message ... I have built a few AMD systems. I have always used epox motherboards and been very satisfied.
