im about to get a p4 3.06 chip, watercooled, and 512 corsair xmspc3200 c2
only prob - i cant decide on a mobo.
im tossing up between 2 boards,
the asus p4g8x - good overclock options, but i dont like the serial ata raid controler, or the onboard sound they use, and ive also read about a few bugs (ram slot voltage etc)
and an msi gnb-max fisr - looks cool, heaps of great features, but on the pre-release boards - the max. fsb was set at 124 - so i couldnt use the 3.06 chip to its full, second - theres no overclocking options in the bios, you can only use "fuzzy logic 4"
also, the agp speed is linked to the fsb - so at 150 fsb - the agp port would run at 75 mhz, whereas on the asus board, they are completely seperate - so no matter how much you overclock , the pci and agp speed is locked.
or, if anybody knows of any other boards using the granite bay chipset, and can support hyperthreading - could you please let me know so i could look into them as well
cheers.
