Which Mobo? Asus P4B533-E ???

[JasonR]

Hi,
I'm in the planning stage of building a PC and it seems the Asus P4B533-E mobo is a good buy (with i845E P4 Scoket478 3DDR w/ Audio / ATA133 RAID/ LAN/ USB 2.0 ATX). I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had experience with this mobo (good or bad).

I plan to use a P4 1.8GB CPU, GF4 Ti4600, and about 512MB of RAM. This machine will be used predominantly for games but also as a general workhorse in my house.

Many thanks for any and all comments.

Cheers,
JasonR

I'd say wait for the Abit IT7II (it should be out in a few weeks). This board will be absolutely amazing!

Is that IT7II the 845PE? And it's coming out in a few weeks? Does that mean paper or retail launch? I haven't heard much from Intel about the 845PE/G.

This is all I know about the IT7II at the moment: <A HREF="http://www.abit.com.tw/abitweb/webjsp/english/faq_search.jsp?pQUESTION=IT7-MAX2" target="_new">Link</A>!

Any particular reason? Because the P4S533 has better performance, and that SiS chipset has a perfect track record.
