I seek feed back on currently shipping P4 Motherboards.
I've been using Intel boards now for quite a while and honestly they have been great. Excellent support, next day replacement (if you need it - I haven't!), and quite a nice feature set all built onto the system board including, if you so desire, a Promise IDE RAID controller. Previously I'd used Abit, Asus, Tyan, Supermicro, and a handful of others (dating back to the original Pentiums). Unless you are a gamer and need bleeding edge speed, I'd stick with Intel. -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions
I've been using GigaByte motherboards for many years now with great results. I'm currently running a GA-8PE667 Ultra2/Pro. This board rocks in Linux! 4x agp three ddr slots (333 mhz) onboard sata and promise ata raid controllers onboard 6.1 channel surround (currently disabled using SB audigy instead). 2 usb 1 ports 4 usb 2 ports dual bios! In fact my son has same MB in his pc running linux/98(games) http://tw.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_GA-8PE667%20Ultra%202.... just my $0.02 On Thursday 29 May 2003 00:43, John LeMay wrote:

Well, I bought a 2.40ghz P4 about 2 months ago. I've got it running on an Asus P4PE-RL which seems to work quite well. I've had no problems with it at all. But be warned that if you wanna go over a Gig of ram it has to be single sided dimms. If they are double sided dimms your stuck at a gig. And from what I'm told ..not a lot of manufacturers make single sided 512's. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other going in the opposite direction.

Built a 2.5ghz 533-fsb last week with a Gigabyte GA-8ge800 - intel chipset, DDR333. Onboard sound, usb and vga worked out of the box on SuSE 8.1 Pro, nice performance, no stability problems. Hans
