The best mobo out RIGHT now would be the Abit IT7-MAX2 rev2 (intel 845PE mobo)....but the sis655's are around the corner which will offer a little better performance but for the money you cant beat the pe's

Or an Asus board if you want to use RDRAM. Abits prolly the best for DDR though, very new board and it does away with legacy components.

Most cost effective P4 purchase at this time is not a 3Ghz...but enjoy it if you can afford it=)

Windows is like a house of cards... One wrong move and it all comes crashing down.
