I am looking for one with 4 SDRAM Slots, 5-6 PCI Slots and 1 AGP slot, I dont want DDR RAM ect as I have 1 GB of SDRAM and dont really want to waste it laugh

Any Help Appreciated.

I'd say the Asus P4B, but it's only got 3 DIMM slots last I checked.

I like Asus.

That Epox mobo and a P4 2.2 will do you good. At least as good as PC-133 allows it to get.

Agreed. You really ought to save up some more and get some RDRAM or DDR and a motherboard to go with it. You're gonna be seriously castrating the performance of the P4.
