I talk to a few buddies online that build computers for a living and i was going to get the ausus p48x(i think thats what it's called) but because i've heard it's unstable and the fact that one of the guys strongly recomended i choose a board with an intel chipset...i changed my mind.
So now that i was back at square one i decided to check the CPU data base (overclockers.com) and see what mobo popped up most. And from what i could tell the P4PE is the choice board comming from ausus right now.
I dont exactly have to get an ausus board but this one has everything i want except for an 8x agp.
I know the new geforce FX cards are going to be expensive, but my buddie is (rich first of all) spending about 10 grand on his new basment (computers tv's etc) and said he'd buy me the card.
I'm not quiet so rich and i'm wondering if the P4PE's 4xAGP will reduce the performance of the FX. Obviously it wont be quiet as fafst, but i'm also told that as of right now the 8x cards only access that "potential" every once in a while.
So basicly my question is...is it as stable as people make it sound, and if i'm gonig to be getting an FX card, should i get a mobo with 8x AGP
