Best P4 Mobo for 333??

[evolart]

I was looking at the soltek sl-85erv and it looks pretty nice...........I'd like to get some replies back about the "best" p4 mobo supporting pc2700

 

[Crashman]

Asus P4S533

Epox 4g4a+, Great overclocking, feature rich and very affordable.

I dont like epox

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

SOYO with VIA P4X333 (remember: VIA do not have licence to make Pentium 4B chipsets! But I think this is the best choice...) or a careful choice: Asus P4B533-V Intel i845G (not sure it supports DDR333)

 

[evolart]

im pretty sure 845g supports only up to 266.........hmmmm.........so p4x400 wouldnt be a good bet? I'd like a board that will have some upgradeability in the future

 

[evolart]

VIA doesn't have a license..............but how big of a deal is that?

 

[AMD_Man]

The i845g chipset <b>does</b> support DDR333 albeit unofficially. The SiS645DX supports DDR400 unofficially. The SiS648 has all the features P4X400 but SiS has a license with Intel.

[hartski]

what is the SIS650 chipset? is it supposed to be better than the 645DX and 648? Does the 648 have the serial ATA and 8x AGP already? is it out yet?

 

[chuck232]

The SiS650 is the integrated video version of the SiS645 I believe. The 648 is their newest chipset for the P4. I'm not sure about S-ATA, but it has AGP8X for sure. ABIT has a mobo out, but I don't know if it has shipped yet, although there are a few people with them. Newegg.com still has them on ETA.

:lol: Finally, I get a capitalized title!! WOOT!! :lol:

That's because you're either ignorant or stupid. In the first case, I'll educate you. In the second, I'll forgive you.

Well it will be a couple more weeks before I buy.............I had a rather nasty incident with my athlon 1700+ and the asus a7s333.........3 cache's later and about a month and a half wait....dreading the fact that malabs.com is telling me there is no serial on the board so they cant replace it...........and a month after I sent them the chip they just sent it to AMD.............so now I'm gonna buy a p4, yet I don't know if I want to take the chance of another Asus board.................guess I'll make up my mind by my next check

I'm interested in a board that supports 333, maybe even 400........and has usb 2.0.........

Again the epox 4g4a+, it does support ddr 333, it has usb 2.0, raid, onboard graphics, 6-channel audio (not that you would use either) and tremendous overclocking potential in the bios. I'm running a 1.8a @ 2.4 and ddr 2700 on it as I type this, very stable, and very affordable ($139).

Abit has a new motherboard out called the IT7 Max 2. They took off all the Legacy Paralell, Serial, PS2 ports. All USB, Firewire, and NIC. Has Serial ATA, ATA 133 IDE and Raid ATA 133.

 

[buddry]

Or just get the IT7 max same thing without the serial ata and it is available now.

[chuck232]

ACtually the IT7 MAX2 has PS/2 ports.... Kinda weird cause I always thought the MAX series was for legacy-free...

[evolart]

Hmm.......im not so sure about legacy free.........what if something goes out, then I'd have to go buy brand new I couldnt use old mice and keyboards or whatever........maybe I'll go legacy free when I dont own anymore old products

 

[JaeSun]

Sis DOES support Serial-ATA....

check out Shuttle's mobo:

<A HREF="http://www.spacewalker.com/english/mainboard_detail_info.asp?number=196" target="_new">http://www.spacewalker.com/english/mainboard_detail_info.asp?number=196</A>

S-ATA, RAID, AGP8x, Firewire, USB2.0, unofficial DDR400 support, but official DDR333 support ......


this is supposed to be around the $120-$130 when it gets released really soon .... id go for this ....

this is prob better, i think ....

Any top-tier mobo makers with the i845E chipset. Sis 648 is not bad either, but for reliability reasons, I'd stick with the 845E. Go with the 845G if you don't need powerful graphics rendering, but load up on RAM.
