Hey guys what's the best motherboard that has socket 775 that supports intel p 4 3.2Ghz W/HT and is under $100.

If you need more specs, just let me know.

http://www.newegg.com

This place has a lot. Just look under the processors and click your catagory. Some start around 50. I would post the direct link but it's very ling.

What about this motherboard:

Firstly, Tigerdirect sucks! ECS sucks even more.

well can you tell me whats a good motherboard that has about the same specs that are on the ECS motherboard.

this what i'm going to get For my computer:
Motherboard: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&Tab=2&NoMapp=0
(unless i can find something better but the same price and it has to be mATX motherboard.)

HDD: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&sku=THD-1600BB

Cable: (IDE) http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...96&sku=T13-4007

CPU Fan: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...9&sku=C283-1038

Cd Burner/DVD Burner: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...5&sku=S167-4206

You may want to reconsider the HD...IMO 2mb cache is very low by todays standard. 8MB should be a minimum

thats true, would that HDD be good if i get it in 8MB cache

yep the 8 mb is much better but even then depending on what you want ur computer for you could get a 16mb cache and about 400gb

I could? So is that motherboard good? i know it's not the best but it will work.

I would get a 400Gb 16mb cache but i'm on a budget man i only can spend around 100 bucks on a hard drive

hi i have a problem too i just bought a new pc
when i got it i changed graphic card and added ram now i ind out that my graphic card doesnt match with motherboard agp slot my comps specs are:
p4 3.0 ghz socket 478
asrock p4v88+
1024 mb of ram (4x256 mb)
radeon 9600 pro
80 GB of hard drive
and my question is what kind of motherboard should i buy that would fit with my graphic card?

probably just a stiff slot since the board is new. Unless there are actual items blocking your card or it's a 9600 PCI board your card should fit. Jusr push harder.

ups my mistake :$ I´m sorry
i ment that my agp slot is only 1.5 v
but 9600 pro needs for 8x speed 0.8 v
i now can only set speed to 4x:(
can i do something or i should buy a new motherboard
i had in mind asus p4p800 E-deluxe
is this board good?

It's a great board IMHO. I've got one. Very reliable, sofar and I've had it a year

If you go and spend $100 on a new motherboard for no other reason than to enable AGP 8x, you are going to be very dissapointed. On my 9600xt enabling AGP 8x increases my FPS by less than 1 (CS Source @1024x768). I just leave it at 4x for sake of stability.

If you want quality + features and are willing to spend as much as the P4P800 line, take a look att the ABIT IS-7 line.
I have the IS-7e, 2.4ghz P4c, Radeon 9550 256mb, 4x512 Ram (All banks are using dual channel) and 6 HDs. A wonderful relief from a crappy ECS board. So far no lockups (except when stressing it for my OC roof). Run very fast and easy to OC in BIOS and in windows.

It would be a tough choice between a P4P800 and a IS-7 if you are not partial to either ABIT or ASUS.

are any of those mATX boards?

Looks good but don't fit my needs

I need a Socket 775

Intel Chipset that supports HT

Two Ide interfaces

And mATX

I have used and would recommend :

sg-80
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/produc...ies=1&model=269
http://www.dealtime.com/xPO-Abit_MB_ABIT_SG_80_661FX_mATX_RT

looks pretty good but two conflects

pc2700 DDR333Mhz needs to be supported

I really need intel chipset W/HT for my processor to work right

(Socker775 Intel P4 3.2Ghz W/HT 800FSB)

You don't need the Intel chip set for your CPU to work, but if you prefer it then be ready to pay more for it over VIA or SIS based boards. (SIS makes a solid chip and is the only one that generally includes on board 133 IDE support (VIA and Intel mainly stick with 100), This board does support HT (+ EE and XE). 333 memory (even 266) is supported as well. See the SG-80 Compatibility chart

Intel is solid, but even their ICH isn't perfect (far from it actually if you have looked at comparisons between the 3 on hardware review sites).

Don't fall victim to the hype!

Would it still be fast without the intel chipset?

SIS can hold it's own when compared to Intel in regards to similar Northbridge/Southbridge families.
You pay a lot for the Intel name.
I don't know what your cpu is rated at for FSB, but that would be something really to be looking at when picking a mobo.

800 FSB

The SG-80 fits your needs in all areas then. It also won't break the bank. I like abit so my opinion is a bit biased. MSI and Gigabyte make good boards as wall, but finding 2 ide channels for socket 775 and up is getting to be a challenge since SATA is nudging them out. Even harder is trying to find one that supports AGP + what you said you want as well. If your graphics card wasn't AGP...you would have a much bigger selection to choose from.
Isn't progress grand?
What is nice about the SG-8- is it has onboard graphics if you ever find yourself in a pinch. Compared to 478 boards, newer ones have been shown to not heavily impact performance when using onboard graphics.

I dont have a AGP card i was thinking to go with PCI Graphics if thats any better? I tried SATA before and it never worked.
My CD-Rom drive is ide i dont feel like buying another that has SATA on it.

How about this one: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&Tab=2&NoMapp=0

You can find better for that price. If you are looking for something that is PCI Express and not AGP (PCI Express cards actually are cheaper and faster), you should expect a board to have Firewire (IEEE1394 b support if your lucky), and why go skimpy w/ 3 ram slots? Go for 4 so you have the option of running all of them w/ dual channel support. 7.1 sound should be there w/ Optical in/out.

The newer mobo's have improved dramatically regarding SATA. I would say it would be safe to venture into new waters if you are going to buy a HD as well. Since I have IDE HD's, I too demand dual channel at least.
The board I'm using now actually has support for 3 IDE channels (6 devices) and it sure beats having to use an add in card.

Considering the mobo is probably the most important item in the entire computer as it dictates performance for everything, I personally would put a couple extra $$$ into this purchase.
Here is a nice gigabyte matx board w/ enough features to last you for quite a bit in the future and worth every penny.

but is this one a Good board? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...8192&CatId=1533

link doesn't work

it works now
