| 280429 | 2004-10-12 01:24:00 | Building a new computer. Either P4 Prescott 3.2G 1MB 800 FSB or, P4 3.2 G 1 M Cache 800 FSB 775P. Could someone please recommend a motherboard of < $250.00 Cheers |

| 280430 | 2004-10-12 01:33:00 | Are both processors LGA775? Do you want DDR or DDR2? AGP or PEG? PCI or PCIe? | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||

| 280435 | 2004-10-12 03:22:00 | DDR2 is more modern and will be around for alot longer, either or it doesnt really matter . You could buy a board that has support for both such as the MSI 915P Combo ( . ascent . co . nz/mn-product-spec . asp?pid=334452" target="_blank">www . ascent . co . nz) . Its getting very difficult to find a socket 775 board with an AGP slot, you'll most likely have to make the jump to PEG/PCIe . Trying to find a LGA775 motherboard for under $250 is like trying to find a needle in a hay stake it just isnt going to happen . Your trying to buy new technology with a small budget, which isnt a good idea you'll either have to compromise on quality (bad idea in my opinion) or choose slower products or old technology . Why not downgrade the chip to a LGA775 2 . 8GHz P4? Slightly cheaper and should allow for a better motherboard . In reality you need to reconsider the budget, the moment you make the jump to LGA775 you really need to make the jump to DDR2 and PCIe, which wont be cheap . |

Then your personal experience is probally indicative of your personal skill level, An intel is no more stable then an AMD.Not that i care what you use,but no need to make fictional statements. fictional-An imaginative creation or a pretense that does not represent actuality but has been invented. |

But in saying that your reasons for disliking AMD are misguided . Some of the earlier Athlon were unstable due to poor chipsets, the chipset avaliable now for both the AthlonXP and Athlon64 are top notch and every bit as good as Intels . Any problems youve encounted with AMD are most likely the fault of the user, AMD provide a top notch product that is as good as any Intel product . For along time rumors and lies have been spread by Intel fanboy saying AMD run hot or are unstable, which are completly untrue . Theres nothing wrong with either platform and both offer great performance . If your building a PC primarily for gaming you really should consider a Athlon64, it constantly proves the better performer in a gaming enviroment . In some benchmarks the Athlon 3500+ outperforms the 3 . 6GHz P4 EE . |

My apologies for that . > Some of the earlier Athlon were unstable due to poor > chipsets, the chipset avaliable now for both the > AthlonXP and Athlon64 are top notch and every bit as > good as Intels . I accept your above reasoning, Pete . Maybe my bad encounters were all those earlier chipsets . Sometimes, it's hard to change one's perception . |
