I am looking for a motherboard for a new S775 P4 that I am building.

Its going to be for a buisness so they do not need any powerfull graphics card.

Requirements I am looking for are
- DDR I 400 support
- built in Videocard (that could be dropped)
- Intel Northbridge
- ASUS (they asked for that to be a requirement)
- SATA RAID for mirroring (i forgot if if thats 0 or 1)


What do you think of these 3 ? (I kinda like the first one)
P5GD1

P5GDC-V Deluxe

Any of those boards would suffice. If you are not aiming for extreme performance, then pretty much anything from Asus, Epox, or MSI.

If it is for a business, I would suggest an Intel Brand Board. They are rock solid, for years, and if there are any problems, they are general taken care of rapidly.
 
You're gonna have an intel northbridge with just about every mobo you get. The exceptions are crossfire and sli mobos, which you should stay away from for a business. I don't see why they want Asus, but if thats an absolute must, then the boards you have will suffice. Data mirroring is RAID 1. I'm not sure you can even find a socket 775 mobo with onboard video. Just pop an x600 pro in the p5gd1. You could even use a pci vid card.
 
Data mirroring is Raid 1.

I second the motion for an Intel branded board, my brother has one, had to get it replaced (3 year warrentee), it happened within a week. Really fast.
 
Yeah man Intel makse the most stable and reliable boards, the mosfets on their boards are like like 1.5 times the girth of other brands.
I also second the notion of getting like an Ati X600 VGA card over onboard video.
