If you don't need to use ECC memory, then go for i865 based mobos

Sorry but what is and I Quote:"If you don't need to use ECC memory, then go for i865 based mobos"????

ECC memory is most often used for work stations, ie for scientific institutions, professional graphics developers etc. If you are building a home/ gaming/video encoding type rig, the 865 chipset is all you need.

I'd go with the Abit IS7. It has more features than the IC7 and cost only $92 at Newegg. It's the top i865PE board.
