Motherboards

Which Mobo's do you guys perfer. I read the thread of Northwood vs. Prescott, and I will have to say I was going for the Prescott until then.

I have decided on the northwood, and would like to know what mobo to put it in. A brand name is good for me, but if you think a specific board is the bomb, then let me know. It has been to long since I built my own machine.

Thanks.

My personal pref is Asus. I've also used Abit, but had one belly-up on me.

Currently using A7N8X-E Deluxe, and currently considering AMD 64bit board..

I'm using the GA-7N400-L from gigabyte!!!

http://tw.giga-byte.com/Motherboard/Products/Products_GA-7N400-L.htm

Work very well with AMD Athlon XP, very stable!!! Not the best motherboard, beginning to be a little bit outdated for new comp!!! (no pci-express slot). but it come with an integrated sound card and ethernet LAN Network Connection!!!

It is doing the job, will consider again Gigabyte for my next motherboard!!!

Good shopping!!!

go pci-e and from what ive heard, asus and Abit are good. ive also heard that socket 939 is best. i would also go with amd, as they are currently beating intel in benchmarks.

Well i can forgive you for not being an AMD guy (even though their processors are better and cheaper), but my personal favorite MB for gaming is made by a company called "BIOSTAR", excellent mother board, definately look em up

P.S. AMD > Intel

I'm using a Gigabyte board as well and like all the options that they come with. I am running a P4 3.2 Presscott. They seem to be very stable plus I like the dual bios and dual power options that they provide along with many options of several different HD setups and styles.

This is simular to mine. I got the deluxe version that was a special edition.

I have an ASUS and love it. It would be a good choice if you decide to go that route.

It doesn't matter what type of motherboard to me, just aslong as it runs good and they all do, but never, and I repeat, Never! buy a motherboard that uses VIA chipsets. They are the stupidist, most disgusting vile peices of crap ever created by man kind!
