Hi.

Because I'm in dilema, buy or not to buy, P4 system now I need some help from you.
There should be new Intel chipset available in a short time, but I must to know when new motherboards with this chipset (i845GE/PE) will be available in stores. Will buying EPOX 4g4a+ (i845G) now be a bad decisinon? This mobo will not be able to support any new P4 processors (3Ghz), because hyperthreading tehnology. Am I right? As I understand this feature on this board can not be solved with BIOS upgrade.
The new processors will not be able to work on this board?
So is it worth to wait for new mobos (till when?) or go and buy mobo now?

Thanx for answers in advance,
Buggy
