wut oh, advice on a good p4C mobo?

[dougyfresh]

Right now, I have a P4S800 which has the chipset of SiS 645 (I think, I'm not at it right now), and I can actually get it to run at 2981 mhz smoothly. (The base is a 2.6 P4 C). Ive got the memory running on the SLOWER setting(there are two settings, one is like 480 mhz [heck no] and one is about 398 [yup] {pc-3200}). Anyways, I was wondering if anyone would recommed a good chipset for overclocking with dual channeling. And would someone tell me what differenciates the the (approx) 480 mhz to 390 mhz on the memory? I know the base is 400, but ya. I'm looking for a mobo that can lock my memory frequencies and pci/agp slots. Thanks

you probably are getting the same performance now as you would be getting at stock speed, the p4 is extremely bandwith hungry, increasing the clock frequency but keeping the fsb the same will yeild little or no performance increase. I sudgest you try to find the max FSB you can run while keeping the memory running synchronous to the fsb.

Speaking of memory bandwith, your poor sis chipset only has single channel support, since the p4 loves memory bandwith if you must buy a new board, check out any 865pe or 875 based chipset. I like the epox 4pca3+, however buy based on features you think u need.

If it isn't a P6 then it isn't a processor

I'd go with the Abit IS7
