I just picked up a P4 2.4b (Northwood) and ABIT BD7II-R, and am having second thoughts on the mobo.
I've read enough articles outlining the mediocre performance of the 845e (at least in comparison to the 845g and 850e), and am wondering if it's worth the time to return for an alternative?
Of course, if I were to opt fo the 845g, I'm looking at saving a few bucks. But, if I go for an 850e solution, it will prove quite a bit more expensive, as I already have a 512mb stick of Corsair XMS2700C2, and a stick of PC1066 RDRAM ain't cheap.
