I'm thinking of building a P4 system and was wondering what's a good(not the best) motherboard to use. I've heard alot about the Asus 533-C. I want pretty much all the bells and whistles built-in(Raid, USB 2.0, Firewire,LAN). Can someone give me some suggestions? I'm not into overclocking much and either Rdram or DDR ram will do. Thanks
 
Take a look at the GA-8INXP, I have always felt the GIGABYTE boards where the best if you whern't going to OC them this is the nicest one I have seen too

I would stick with a PE chipset board. Recommend highly the Albatron 845PEVProII Silver.

There are some reports of problems with the GB boards.

Or wait a little longer and see what the SIS655 chipset brings to the table.
