Well, i think i'm gonna cave in and possibly upgrade my old asus p4b-lx that i got 2 years ago. It's an OEM board i believe and has 0 bios features to tinker with.
So, i have a 2.4 northwood processor (400mhz) and looking for suggestions on a decent motherboard. I've heard the IS7 or IC7 are nice, and the P4P800's are nice also.
I'm currently running 512 pc-133 ram, so that's in need of upgrading as well. I'm not looking for top of the line mobo. maybe onboard sound is about the only thing as i have a 9500 ATI coming tomorrow and my own NIC i use. I was thinking of going with some DDR 3200 ram, so a mobo that can support 400mhz fsb chips and 3200ddr is what i'm lookin for.
but, i'm open to suggestions. I'm sure the CPU won't overclock that well, and i'm not expecting it too.
EDIT - wanted to add, I like Asus boards the best. Been using them a while and lookin at the P4P800 alot. Is there any difference between the regular P4P800 and the P4P800-VM? other than having less PCI slots and stuff.
