road-runner Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 (edited) I like the Asus P4C800 Deluxe I wanted to use the Abit IC7Max 3 but there are still some problems with them is what I understand so I took the Abit back, cooling depends on what you are going to do with it and how much money you want to spend. You might check on an Asus P4P800 I saw one somewhere the other day for $105.00 I think it was at Axion Technologies it was a weekly special deal Edited December 27, 2003 by roadrunner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzyd Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 nothing hardcore just a normal desktop computer but i need it to be able to handle itself if i push it a little harder games and graphics programs really? i wasnt expecting to spend that much like i was looking at the MSI 865PE Neo2 or an ABIT IS7 that kind of price range Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
