no contest....the IC7
it's the last mobo you'll need till 2005
great for 533 cpu's and works for the new 800mhz chips...
plus early prescots will also work on it.
use a 533 cpu for full bandwith at every FSB OC you can muster.

IC7 would be a very great board if it had LAN integrated. The BH7 is much cheaper as well, and the dual channel DDR is only about 10% adventage, experts say...

You want integrated LAN? Then get the Abit IC7-G Max2.

I just bought the BH7 and love it. It is cheap, has great onboard sound, LAN, ect. and is the best overclocking board I've ever owned.

Only 10%.
I thought all the benchs im reading in the reviews have it 100% better than the PE in the memory zone.
So if the new chipsets are only 10% max difference overall, whats the point of upgrading now if at all till 2005 or whatever, other than for the better other stuffs like southbridge, sata. You still be able to run a 800fsb chip with both boards in the future, but then again the ic7 will go further.
hmmmm. maybe right now is not a good time, but any time later is losing time. grrrrah
