I am pricing (and later building) a computer system for my father. The computers main use will be for photoshop and video editing.
I concluded that the most appropriate system for my father would be a newer pentium 4 system so I have come here to pick out a motherboard.
My motherboard requirements:
Supports a pentium 4 3Ghz 800fsb w/ hyperthreading
Dual channel DDR400 at aggressive timings(cas2) at least 1GB.
IDE or SATA RAID controller(for RAID 0) + regular IDE interface.
It would also be nice for the board to have onboard audio and onboard LAN.
This computer will not be overclocked so I do not need a good overclocking board; I just need a quality board. I don't really want to pay through the nose for overclocking features that will never be used, but I do not want to go out and get some crappy ECS motherboard.
I'm an AMDroid, so I have limited knowledge of todays Intel motherboards. My decision is in your hands.
