I am planning to put together a new computer system, but right now in my current choice of components, it's just too expensive. Well, I was planning to get an Albatron PX865PE PRO II, but at US$185 (newegg.com) it's a bit expensive for me. I was wondering if there are any other GOOD, reliable (esp. for overclocking) mobos that are 865PE and have more than just the basic features, if possible... I was *hoping* to be able to use the CSA LAN, but that feature only seems to come on the "deluxe" models of mobos. Also, I need some sort of BIOS protection, e.g. Gigabyte's DualBios, or Albatron MirrorBios, etc. So, any suggestions? P.S. I plan to use this as my main computer, which will means i need performance (i plan to get a 9800 PRO, so no worries about vid. card) that will be good for games for some time to come. tks...
