ASUS Vs Abit

[Yoshi]

Which is a better all around board

ASUS P4C800-Delux or the Abit IC7-G

Yoshi...isn't this a motherboard question? Please pay attention.

I was going with the ASUS P4C800 but the reviews steered me towards Abit IC7-G

I don’t know whether you can translate this to their lower equivalent but it would not surprise me.

Regardless, either mobo will be a great mobo to have.

Check Gigabytes equivalent too.

PS: I noticed on your other posts that you are going with a P4 2.4GB 800MHz FSB CPU. Although this is probably the most cost effective model to go for in the 800MHz FSB CPU Intel range, the extra cost for a 2.8 is not that great.

It may be worth thinking about, if you haven’t already got the CPU above and a special priced 2.8 becomes available. I did this in the end.

Sorry BpB, I'm still feeling a little under the weather and my head wasn't dooing to well hehe, you know the air here isn't the best unless you like taking in toxic fumes:)

Well yes I have already purchased the CPU, it is around $100 less then the 2.8C, and I'm going to OC it to atleast 3.0C, and I have also purchased the P4P800 Delux, but I here you can OC with the ABIT very well, and I might return it, that is why, and I didn;t think it fair to compare a P4P800 to the higher ABIT, so I compared apples to apples
