Stay away from the Intel mobo as it has no overclockin' potential at all.

Dude!

Of course there is overclocking on P4 MOBOS. My friend overclocked a Pentium 4 from a 2.4 GHz to a 2.6. And he isn't even a pro at it. So quit sayin that.


You just gotta love CHAOS:flames:

Literacy seems to be a big problem here these days. :rolleyes2

Sorry guys. I just sort of scanned through the message and was not paying attention. I don't know about the Intel MOBOs. Sorry


You must still embrace my CHAOS

[Chaos]

Hey, do any of you guys like Iwill boards? they seem to be cool. Not as nice as the Asus one though. Tell me what ya think.

Myself I'm partial to the Albatron mainboards... Would be nice to see a dual channel setup from Albatron, but alas no show :( But the PX845PE series are very nice (for oc'ng, can't beat the PX845PEV-800). Just my opinion :)

[rugbydude]

hmmmm ALbatron:lips:

Hey Chaos,

I just recently built a new rig and I am beyond pleased with the mobo it bought. It's the Albatron PX845PE Series. This board has duel bioses specifically for OCing. I have so far successfully OCed my 2.4 P4 to 2.99 and I don't even think I'm close to topping out. I just recieved 16,298 last night on 3DMark2k1 which isn't bad at all. I hope to get into the 17k range soon, now that is running with the big dogs.
So, if you plan to OC your 2.5 I would go with the Albatron. Read any and all reviews on this board and they all come back with the same opinion, Awesome! TT's review was a 9.5 out of 10. I'm running OCZ PC3500 Ram @ 413mhz with it which helps also. My 9700 Pro is modded a bit which busted my 3DMark2K1 score by about 400 points. It's an awesome board all around
