Buying a new mobo. NEED your help

I have two Asus 865P boards and they are incredibly stable and fast. Memory performance is very good. A VIA chipset should work, but a P4P800-SE is just plane as good as socket 478 gets now the P4C800 is gone. I have had four Asus boards, all very stable.

VIA should work? Sure!
Got mobos using VIA MVP3 and KT266A. They are the most stable computers that I have used.(I won't say that there are no latency problems with the MVP3)
At least, I can run a word processor without getting the computer to crash when I haven't saved for a while.
I used ATi RD482 too. Works pretty well, but I'm getting reports that game crashes while I never saw the computer have a problem. (Which have never been the case with all my Intel chipset mobos)

here is a socket 478 with pci e! the only problem would be finding a place to buy it!

Is it really a company making quality mobos?


Also, NewEgg and a couple of others are distributors for them. Maybe you could ask for a special order . (If Newegg doesn't want, there are about 15 others)

Oh, and found these
Asrock P4Dual-915GL
Asrock P4Dual-880Pro
Asus P4V800D-X
Asus P4GD1

Not sure for the ASrocks, one has a PCI-X 4x slot and the other is AGI-Express... They seem not to be compatible with normal PCI-express 16x video cards so you should stay with Asus I think.

I dare say Biostar makes some quality motherboards. From my experance they are much better than AsRock. PC-Chips and ECS are the worst. All makers seem to have some bad ones.

wow i thought there is no socket 478 with pci e, lol wish i can find those

yeh their pretty much isnt anywhere to buy em...maybe check ebay? i have/had the same problem with my socket 478, i wanted to get the new 7900 but cant afford to also pay for a new proccesor..so do some research on that one i sent you, let me know if you find anywhere that sells it

alright ill be on the lookout! :giddy: :hotouch: :bounce:
