could I get some upgrade advice?


Recommended Posts

I want to upgrade to a Pentium 4 2.0B solution. It'd be one of those Northwood 533FSB chips. Anywho..that part is pretty straightforward.

The difficulty for me comes in choosing what Motherboard to get. I want an intel chipset on it, but I don't want RDRAM, so that leaves anything with an Intel 850 chipset out of the question.

Which leaves me with the 845E or 845G. I've done some research and the 845E doesn't have the timing settings to use DDR333 but the 845G does. So a 845G chipset motherboard it is!

My problem lies in the fact that I'm having a hard time finding MB's out there with this chipset other than Asus. Does anyone know of other boards that use the 845G?

Thanks!

PS. I have an AMD and I don't want to upgrade to an AMD, so lets not suggest that. :) thanks
