DeviQ3 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 i dont know which board to get...i was sure until i read anothetr thread here at OCClub.com saying that the radeon 9700 didnt work right with the mobo i was choosing... i was gonna get the Asus P4S8X but it says on the page that it had bugs(like random reboots, etc), and i was just wondering if this happened with ALL of the mobos, or just with a few(like a bug in a few of them) sorry if i just sound dumb :| anyways, can anyone give me some more info about this? or a couple more suggestions for another mobo(with 8x AGP)? this machine will be for gaming...here are my system specs so far intel p4 2.8Ghz Corsair XMS pc2700 1 gig (2 x 512mb) radeon 9700 pro thx to anyone who replys..... dev ps, sorry for making "another" topic for this, i tried to reply to my old thread, but it wouldnt let me since i was the last to post...so i couldnt update/refresh the thread with this new info :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensioN Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 well , i think you can bug in every board,it's just bad luck, i have a P4PE, and when i come in windows, and reboot, he doesn't goe furter then the bios, the i ve got to reset, then he boots good, somthimes, he says disk boot failure, when a cd is in , ok that's normal, but crap , i've had some strange things, like, system error, system error... , again reboot, and then he starts up normal, so you just need to have some "luck" with is, greetz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NyCUnDaGroUnD Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Well with that in mind, id say a board with 8x AGP support and full featured P4 mobo, i'd go for the Gigabyte 8INXP if u have the cash. 8x agp support doesnt really make a big difference so if u are on a budget go for the best mobo of 2002, Abit IT7-Max2 v2.0.

DeviQ3 Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Xpandapuss, i see money is prob for you, why don't you wait for the fx?? greetz prolly cuz the FX = ownT by aTI its only 10% better in most benchmarks, and is as loud as a vacuum cleaner...i doubt they sell half as many as radeon 9700 sells.....

DimensioN Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 i doubt they sell half as many as radeon 9700 sells..... not shure about that, if it's faster ... it ll sell, and sell good greetz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeviQ3 Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 not shure about that, if it's faster ... it ll sell, and sell good greetz most gamers wontbother if its as loud as a vacum cleaner (have u heard it? i have, sounds like a frickin freight train :/ ) radeon 9700 beats it in price, and sound, FX only has a 10% lead over ati....but not for long wait til the new ato is released , then nvidiots will be ownT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
