You really ain't gonna get much with 2.4a mate, even it is a 400Mhz one.P4 Northwood 1.8GHz@2.7GHz 1.65V Albatron PX845PEV Pro

I would suggest an ASUS P4B533-E. It doesn't support DDR333 but everything else seems to be more than satisfactory.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.Comment

Go for the Epox 4SDA5...Let us return to the moon, to stay!!!Comment

Get the P4B533-V or you will be wasting the PC2700.
You want the 845G chipset not the 845E. The 845E doesn't have the memory dividers to OC or even utilize the PC2700 without using a hacked Bios.

errr ALBPM , I have an Abit BD7II (this is one has an 845E chipset). It has an 3:4 divider.
I have an P4 1.8 running at 2474 (18x137.5)
And memory is running at 183.33 (thats 366.66) which is a bit higher than the normal PC2700 memoryHey! You're talking to me all wrong! It's the wrong tone! Do it again...and I'll stab you in the face with a soldering ironComment

Stay away from ABIT though and try to get your hands on a SIS 648 board. That's what I would do.Comment

CaineTanathos, you do have a point...my P4B533 also has a 3:4 divider, so i guess that with a FSB533 CPU it would run at DDR333 speeds.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.Comment

3:4? Check your math folks, you want 4:5 to get 133:166Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment

What do you guys think of the ASUS P4S533 board?Life is a bed of roses. Everyone else sees the roses, you are the one being gored by the thorns.

Even better is 2:3 which lets you do 133:200 ala Epox 4SDA5 with the SIS648 chipset.....Originally posted by Wombat

That's not a motherboard...
Now THIS is a motherboard:
Supermicro P4QH6 Quad Xeon motherboard, (4) 2.4Ghz P4 Xeon processors, Antec Plus 1080B w/550W PS, Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server supporting 4 procs, (16) 512MB ECC DDR2100 Samsung memory modules, Media 10/320 320GB disk rated at 200+MBps, Matrox G550 32MB Dualhead Videocard, (2) NEC 22" 1600x1200 LCD monitors
Quantity over quality wins almost every time!
I know, it's not what either of us are looking for, but I just had to throw it in.
