whats the best chipset

[mshea787]

i want a motherboaard for my new 1.9 p4 but their are like 4 different chipsets which one is best but i want rdram not ddr

Intel 850. It's not just a myth - Intel CPUs work best (I mean - most stable) with Intel chipsets. And choose a good mobo - ASUS, Abit, Epox, MSI, Gigabyte... If you are not planning to overclock, get Intel mobo as well.

would that be good for overclocking and whats the difference between the 850 and the 850E

I80E support 533 FSB and non official support for Pc 1066.

Some mobo have also the new south bridge ICH4

The day i meet a goth queen that tell me Intel suck.I turn in a lemming to fill is need in hardware.

 

[Crashman]

The best board for PC1066 RDRAM is the Gigabyte GA-8IHXP, with Intel i850E northbridge and the newer ICH4 southbridge.

I wonder how you can remember gigabytes mobo name there all the same to me, they look like serial number

Most of the guys complaining own a KT333 board. Now I know that's not this board. A few guys are complaining about the GA-8IEXP, that's an i845 board. So I don't have to remember all the names, only a couple.

If you want overclocking, take Asus, Abit, Epox or MSI.
If you want to spend several bucks more, choose 850 E chipset.

[mshea787]

does abit have a 850e board

 

[waja]

Abit's current RDRAM board is the TH7-II. It is an i850 Mainboard. The BIOS and DRCGs on this board prevent it from being an excellent solution.
The DRCGs can be replaced. The BIOS is up to Abit.

 

[mshea787]

if you were to buy a new mobo which one would you get

 

[tbirdXPplus]

850, if money is not an issue.

but wait for the SIS648. pretty good, and affordable. but, if u got a tight budget, then people would recommend AMD....

DDR platform chipsets are not as good as RAMBUS; intel`s quad-pumping FSB has a bandwidth that only RAMBUS and DDR400 can match. 850, 850E, and any DDR chipset supporting DDR400 qould be good.

"Is Celeron good?"
"No. Celeron is bad."
LOL

 

[Crashman]

You did know the newer core version 1.8A is cheaper, faster, and overclocks 400% better, no?

No chipset is best for you anymore, you lost the game from the beginning with buying a p4! ;-)

[camieabz]

Is that supposed to be an intelligent reply?

<b><font color=blue>~ BIOS SETTINGS: Fast, Hot, Unstable...That ought to work. ~</font color=blue></b>

 

[mshea787]

well what would you prefer me buy a sh*ty amd

 

[tersagun]

You can buy your lovely Pentiums with this prices just thanks to sh*ty AMD. Think about the prices if Intel were the only manufacturer..

"Don't necessarily listen to tersagun,he's been advocating AMD systems,he thinks Intel sucks ass.."

 

[mshea787]

ya amd has had a big effect on the price but the only reason amd can even compete with intel is that their cpu's a practicly factory overclocked

 

[Stain]

Ooooh burn, honestly who gives a [-peep-] what BRAND the CPU is

 

[JasonR]

Crashman, I'm curious what problems you've been hearing with regard to the GA-8IEXP ? I've been seriously considering buying one and would appreciate a heads-up to any probs.

Cheers,
JasonR

I can't recall, it was in here, three guys had similar problems to each other but I can't remember the details.
