Well heres the deal. AMD is taking WAY too long to introduce any new chips and Intel is in the lead by far. Ive been itching to upgrade for a while and i have finally got tired of waiting.
Heres my current stuff that im bringing over to the new Motherboard and CPU.
(1) Maxtor 60GB ATA100 7200RPM (Operating System)
(2) Western Digital 120 GB Special Editions (not in raid, for movies and storage)
ATI Radeon 8500 64MB Retail
Samsung PC2700 512MB Single Stick double sided
Yamaha 24x Burner
Pioneer 16x DVD Slot Load
Im gonna be buying the Retail P4 2.53 from newegg with the stock heatsink and fan.
Motherboards ive been looking at are the:
Asus P4B533-E
Abit IT-7
Anything else to consider? Im not a overclocker, i may do some mild overclocking but that would be on very rare occasions. Since im not overclocking i want a motherboard that is fast and extremely stable at stock speeds with some minor tweaking. It must have Raid and able to support hard drives that are not being used in Raid Arrays.
