Best MOBO for 2.4C

i have heard some good things about the gigabyte 8IPE1000Pro

3 386DX-25's...12 volts...glue some ln2 and a wicked amount of overclocking and you get a willamantee minus 36 pins, 33.75 million transistors and a couple hundred mhz... :cool:

The best value there is the IS7. But it doesn't offer IDE RAID, only SATA RAID.

In addition, the MSI FRSI neo2 does not have an IDE raid only a promise SATA raid. Which is a bitch, because I ordered 2 60gig Seagate HD's and when they arrived I realised I couldn't put them on raid array. That’s not to say it’s a bad board. In fact its one of the popular boards out there!
If I'm wrong and it is possible to get raid on the MSI neo2 FRSI mobo, please tell me!!!
A raid card is only about £35 anyway so its not a huge expense.

If you read the Toms review of the 800FSB mainboards should help you choose.

Wow! In the U.S. I'm seeing them for about half that price, $25!

I haven't looked that hard. On e-bay they might be a bit cheaper

If you want an 865 MB at a decent price with IDE raid. There is only one. The P4P800. I have it and am very happy with it. It overclocks very well. The VIA raid contrllor is surprisingly fast. The coolest feature to me is when you o/c too much and fail to post. You don't have to clear the cmos jumper. The bios will do it automatically. Sometimes you have to shut the comp down twice before it works. But atill alot better than clearing the cmos and redoing all the settings. The only drawback is compatability broblems with Corsair PC3200LL twinx.

No, I've only recommended eBay as a last resort, because I've seen so many scams there.

I'm speaking of companies such as Newegg.com and Compgeeks.com.
