Above link is the processor support page for your board.

P4 1.60 up to P4 3.20 and/or Celeron 2.0 up to 2.80

There are board revisions that also determine processor support. Links are on the page.

omg what the heck is that on that avatar? what a pig
creeps!

for the motherboard
do you have any specific reason to be buying an intel board?
I've one intel board I don't like it.
I've always used Asus. (better support new updates patches...etx)
(sis chips are better )
but I don't know about the new hardware releases.
I only look at the laptops these days and they don't get that much upgrade attention. (I hope they'll be upgradeable some day!!) I don't see why!)

hmm I like this cpu

also I see u wanting a big upgrade (I guess since u wanna know the max speed )
you might want to check xeon

no..i am building a new computer so it not a upgrade as i have 2.53Ghz all ready to slow for me

If your willing to wait i woul get the 3.2ee.
I have the 3.0c and i dont notice a huge increase in performance over my 2.4b.
The ne ee series are going to have a lager cache and should post a larger increase in performance.

But like i said..if your willing to wait, the CPUs just hit the market, and are very expensive!
I say wait will after Xmas and they will have droped a bundle.

hehe, getting CPU is no problem i work @ PC World i can get discounts and some time the managers give me stuff for free so that could be more money off, i might wait to see the new chips which are coming out.

[MSNwar]

What convinced you to use this board?

[DaveXP]

i dont no i saw it and just like it, o and it supports 4GB DDR DIMM PC3100 RAM

[DaveXP]

i have a case also in mind, wat you all thing.

Case

its the 4th case down

[MSNwar]

It is a nice board, but since you are going to build the PC in 2004, it might be a good idea to look at some reviews of the motherboard like this one at Tom's Hardware.

The board was tested against 24 Boards with the 865/875P Chipset and proved to be the slowest board in the bunch caused by conservative memory timing - but this is Intel's corporate policy. Next year (mid 2004) Intel will introduce the Grantsdale chipset, so we might see an improvement then.

[MSNwar]

You mean this one? It is nice. Does not have a fan on the top. Heat rises and the PSU is mounted on the top of the case, so you might want one with a fan on the top or at least a vent on the top.

hey I want free cpu's as well :punk:

nice box almost transparent

[DaveXP]

This One i like this one, i do think it need so kind of fan @ the top mind :/

So does anything think i should get a AMD bored instead of a Intel one?. I have had a P4b for some time now and it has never giving me any problems.

[XtremeMaC]

well at home I've amd 2500+ with asus board
I should tell you this
if p4's temp is around 24C amd's around 60C
I've a huge fan, 5 fans actually, it only dropped to 54C.
so if heat's important to you go with intel. I bought it cause it was cheaper.

by the way the new micro systems are very cool. The box is very small and has everything integrated...

[DaveXP]

Heat make things run slower so heat is a problem for me and i dont do integrated because its s*** basicly so amd's a no no then?

[XtremeMaC]

no no I won't buy it again
but If you want further experiences from ppl u should check tom's hardware.
that's my own experience which I regret won't happen again.
unless the new 64bit chips are good? I haven't read anything about it
some ppl said its better than intels 64bit but don't have any idea if its true

and amd's 64bit cpu is 32-bit os compatible...

[DaveXP]

not sure which to go for now

[canny]

I really wouldn't get an AMD, have had bad experiences with it, I'm on a 2.6c P4 atm, on this mobo which supports 6gb of RAM, the motherboard is a Gigabyte GAK1100. It's kicking a** at the mo, will fill the 6 ram slots with dual channel ddr, only got 512mb matched memory dual channel atm

What about this one and what is the max spped when it sasys 3.2GHz and Higher supported!

MSI 865PE Neo2-PLS
