what motherboard ?

[BartAfterDark]

Hello.
I'm going to buy a new computer.
I have found the case, the processor, the gfx card. But I still need a motherboard and ram for it.

The processor is a Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz with 800mhz FSB.

I want to spend about 230€ on the motherboard.

Can someone help me out choising the right motherboard and ram?

Thanks

Asus P4P800 Deluxe, Abit IS7, I have no idea what currency that is in or how it converts, but both of those are a good value for the price.

Ramwise I'd suggest the corsair CMX256A-3200C2 those run <60$ each generally... you need 2.

Most ram by Kingston, Corsair, Geil, and Mushkin! is acceptable.

Agree on Abit and Asus. Buy them from an American e-tailer to help our economy.

okay, but what model?

OK, look at the following models: Abit IS7, Abit IS7-G, Asus P4P800, Asus P4P800 Deluxe. The -G and Deluxe have more features, but you probably don't need those extra features. All four should fall within your budget.

Okay
I'll buy the Asus P4P800 Deluxe mb. But what ram will be best for that system. I only want 512mb to start with. Becouse the prices are still very high.

The test sites have been having their best stability with the Corsair TwinX PC3200LL.
