Hey, I was wondering what 845G m/bs are worth the money. I want to build a system very soon, but I want to wait for the Radeon 9500 Pro to come out (9700 Pro's a little too expensive), so I was thinking that I could just buy a m/b with integrated video and just deal with that until the video card comes out.
Anyways, as for features, I'd like to see 5.1 sound, RAID (preferably Highpoint), integrated LAN is a plus. Of course, I want it to be stable, and being a good overclocker doesn't hurt either. And price IS an issue.
So far, the best option looks to be the Epox 4G4A+ which I've found for $100. But I'd like to know what you guys think.
If you're curious, I'm planning on building this system with a P4 2.4B, and 512MB Corsair XMS 2700 C2, when I o/c. My aim is to run the system at 166 FSB with RAM clocked synchronously (possible?). Thanks for any input.
Edit: Actually, I'll probably get 512MB XMS 3000 C2 RAM instead, or maybe 512MB XMS 3200 C2.5? I don't plan on pushing the RAM too hard.
