I need some good recommendations For a P4 Prescott thus concidering -> support, Performance, Chipset (need ICHR5), cooling, additional SATA would be nice, Gb nic, On board sound, Low OC.
Ok I have read Alot and it seems many like the Abit Max3 ($182.00)
However it's at the high end price wise so you have to ask if it is really the best for the dollar then?
As I read it seems like that the best boards for the $ that have the things I am looking for might be some of the 865PE sets Or Some of the 875p boards that have fallen in price like:
ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe $121.00 - (thinking this board? Has the features)
MSI 865PE Neo 2-FIS2R (-> but I can't find 1 at the normal resellers)
Abit IC7-G II Adv 875p $139.00 - (higher Price?)
EPoX EP-4PDA2+(Rev 2.0) $109.00 - (Lots of stuff THG mention south bridge prob?)
EPoX EP-4PDA5+ $105.00 - (RAID 5 SATA)
ABIT AI7 $111.00 - (No add. SATA)
