This is the last major decision I have to make for the new rig. With all the uncertainty with the new intel chipsets I'm not sure what to do now, so I'm coming to you guys for the final verdict.
I have been doing quite a bit of research. The most recent I845E and G boards have some really nice features and would be nice, but not totally proven yet. I’m still waiting for some people to further test these new boards or get some new BIOS updates. I have narrowed it down to these:
a) EPOX 4G4A+: This board looks really good with the new Intel I845G, but I have read some bad news on high overclocks with this one.
b) ASUS P4S533: If I were going to go with a SiS 645DX motherboard, this would be the one.
c) EPOX 4BDA2+: Nothing like a board that has proven and overclocks really well. The only problem is trying to find this board still.
d) Other suggestions for a solid overclocking board with decent features and support? Maybe one of the other new intel boards?
If I had to make a decision tomorrow what would you go with? How about in two weeks. That's about all I can wait. Thanks everyone.
