Intel Motherboard Maker?

[AndreRIO]

Does anyone have experience buying mobos from Intel? Does Intel makes good mobos?

I am thinking about the D845WN socket 478 pc133 p4 mobo.

I have the Intel Nightshade N440BX motherboard, A dual PII350. It hasn't crashed once in about 2 years. Currently running two 18 gig SCSI drives, Voodoo Banshee, MX300, about 512megs, and Win2k. I use it mainly for back ups for my main system witch crashes all the time.

Intel makes solid, if unspectacular boards. Intel is not in mobo making for gamers, so their overclocking features are limited if there are any at all. The nightshade board I have is a server board, meant for stability first..

I'm buing Intel (mobos) when I want stability.

Like AMD myself :)

As for your mobo, you should really try same mobo but with DDR memory controller, you'll notice upto 30% boost in memory intensive apps.
