Ok, but there's an awful lot of mobos out there...let's narrow it down. Do you prefer Intel (pentium) or AMD? (I'd recomend AMD even though I haven't owned one..yet, MUCH better bang for the buck and great OCing.

)

I have to say.......I've used two boards with a VIA chipset and now this one with the nForce2 chipset. I love this nForce... It is still amazing me.

Either AMD or Intel CPU
Then VIA or NForce Chips
Then ASUS

Well...That's Me, but I heard Asus & Nforce With AMD is amazing....Asus is great for overclocking...so yea...

I heard those 3 are the best combo..i'mma do that for my next cpu

my current one

Asus A7V133 w/ Via KT133a
AMD Athlon XP 1600+

Works fine

Damn, you're reading me mind! I can't argue with a thing ya said, 'cept I've firmed it up to AMD/nForce2/Asus if I had to buy a new rig right now. (I'm trying to hold off for the next big chipset, whatever it may be.

Dig....I'll TOTALLY hook you up with my used for 3 weeks only GigaByte 7VAX if you go buy an AMD system. I'd like to see you with a new system. But I doubt that the wife would.

If you go intel, get an intel chipset. Asus and Abit are the best, from what I'm told.

Most of my friends have intel based systems in the P3 range - my ST-6 is probably the 'best' board. Compared with another MSI 815 based board, the potential etc are pretty much the same, but the Abit's BIOS is a lot easier to understand/set up. And we get much the same - w/out oc - 3DMarks, although he has an 866 P3 and GeForce 2 GTS.

I know you're thinking P4 (intel wise), but I think these still stand.

The Abit MAX series is DAMN good - a friend of mine has the IT7-MAX (not 2.0), and it works beautifully, lots of features, lots of overclocking, lots of good support, and a decent price considering what is built in (NIC, USB2, Firewire, etc...)
