can someone recommend a good motherboard manufacturer other than Giga-Byte for a penium 4 Motherboard.

 

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

 

Any Help Appreciated.

Go for EPOX EP-4BDA2+ Socket 478 (Intel 845 chipset)

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.

You kill the poor p4 with sdram

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.

That EpoX board is DDR guys PC266

i know i should get DDR but its the cost thats putting me off, and what would i do with the 1GB of SDRAM i have no use for it if the new MB doesn't support it

 

Thanks for the advice, I will look into the Motherboards sugested.

I would sell that 1 GB SDram right now, before the price goes down again

Thanks guys for all the advice I ended up getting a Gigabyte GA-8IRXP with P4 1.7 and 512MB DDR RAM for £300 in a deal, plus a friend is buying the old Motherboard and CPU and RAM from me

Nice 1 it is really worth it to get DDR over SDR in the case of the p4
