| 212282 | 2004-02-02 04:41:00 | I'll be building a new P4 - 2.6 or 2.8 G computer soon. Could someone please recommend a good mainboard for my new pc. My budget is below $200/-, either ASUS or Gigabyte should be fine. No onboard video or sound, please - don't quite like the idea of having everything-in-one type of stuff. However, onboard LAN is OK. Cheers |

| 212283 | 2004-02-02 04:58:00 | Doubt you will be able to find a board without onboard audio in this day and age. | metla (154) | ||
| 212284 | 2004-02-02 05:54:00 | well I have a asus p4s800 which has onboard sound/network but I installed a Asus GeForce Fx5200 AGP card...........if ya dont want onboard sound just disable it in bios or device manager and then install whatever you want............ the board has some good features and I like the 800fsb and the overclockign ability tho I dont really bother with that.......I"ve gotta p4 2.4c Ghz and runnign it hyperthreaded and dual channel ram...... it's all good............... |

| 212285 | 2004-02-02 07:22:00 | You might like to look here. This Motherboard comes for $155 GST incl. at PBtech in Hamilton. jp.giga-byte.com Personally I would go more expensive but if you are stuck on a price then this may suit. |

| 212286 | 2004-02-02 08:52:00 | hmmm.........well a very experienced tech friend of mine says that asus mobos run better than gigabyte........... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 212287 | 2004-02-02 08:53:00 | I bet my ECS board would spank them all.... | metla (154) | ||

I'm a self-confessed non-expert, but I generally find that most people have their own preference based on their experience . For every person that likes Asus, there will be one that likes Gigabyte . I'd suggest eliminating the truly crap (like mine, FIC, eeeeeuggh!), and go with the best combination of features/stability/price . Lizard |

| 212289 | 2004-02-03 21:18:00 | Why do U want intel? AMD chips are cheaper and perform excellent. See this: www.hardocp.com Good for overclocking. Forrest. |

| 212290 | 2004-02-03 21:37:00 | well my P4 2.4c Ghz goes to 3.0Ghz and running steadily at that without overheating or errors at all...... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 212291 | 2004-02-04 08:46:00 | > Why do U want intel? > > AMD chips are cheaper and perform excellent . > Well, have been using Intel for many years and they are very stable . On the other hand, have encountered 'many' problems and unstabilities with AMD CPUs . Anyway, personally, will never recommend AMD cpus . |
