Conan Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Have a look at ASUS: http://www.asus.com/products/mb/socket478/...-c/overview.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSNwar Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 I agree with with Conan's suggestion. ASUS is a long established motherboard manufacturer internationally known to motherboard enthusiast for quality, performance, and support. ASUS often leads the industry. Here are some retail quotes from Europe. Priced in EURO which is equal to the USD. You will find them much cheaper in the U.S.P4T533 (U133 RAID und Sound) Intel i850E ATX Socket 478 100-133 MHz (Quadpumped) 209.00 EUR P4T533-C (LAN and Sound) Intel i850E ATX Socket 478 100-133 MHz (Quadpumped) 204.00 EUR P4T533-C (Sound) Intel i850E ATX Socket 478 100-133 MHz (Quadpumped) 189.00 EUR P4T533 (includes 256 MB RDRAM PC1066) (U-133 RAID and Sound) Intel i850E ATX Socket 478 100-133 MHz (Quadpumped) 329.00 EUR P4T533 (includes 512 MB RDRAM PC1066) (U-133 RAID and Sound) Intel i850E ATX Socket 478 100-133 MHz (Quadpumped) 499.00 EURThe main feature these boards have in common is the Intel 850E Chipset. The main differences are the features i.e. (Sound) as an example. Simply choose the feature set you desire and your all set. This is a high-end board, so the cost is high-end as well. ASUS will not come cheap!More than a few people on this forum use this board or are getting it for Christmas by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentRob Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 Sweet board... probably gonna end up getting the LAN/Sound model. I see it has integrated 6-channel sound... I suppose they mean 5.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they mean 5.1?Surround sound now is capable of going up to 7.1. I don't see the point though unless you have an overly large-sized room.
