    ok i have a question. my asus p4b266-la took a dump on me due to my error. it is rendered useless. however i have a 2.8, 2.2, and 1.6 p4 processor that i want to use on a board. is there a board that resembles the one i have and can take the 2.8 p4. it is this one. Processor

    I want to use all my parts from the old board. i have the graphics cards and all. it can be an atx or micro atx board. if you have any questions for me just ask. i want to find the newest and best that will fit my specs. the board i blew was a 2001 model. thank you for the help

    here are a few i found. i like the ones with 4gb ram instead of the 2gb i have now. also does it matter if its a agp slot 4x (i have now) or agp 8x. im using the raedon all in wonder 9800 pro.the box says 8x/4x. thank you

    dfi lanparty pro
    foxonn 66
    dfi nb78
    mini itx
    asus p4sd
    asus p4s5
    asus p4g8x
    asus p4s8x
    pvb8x-mx

    these are a few i found. let me know. if anyone finds a better one with the specs i need. thanks.
    my old one

    how many threads u going to make?

    It doesnt matter between AGPx4 or X8 if your card is X4 it will work in an X8 slot not the other way around though

    M-ATX and ATX are form factors and doesnt affect performance from what i can tell

    so go on what you think your going to use it for

    for gaming go for one with good FSB and can take big memory

    personally i find AGP cards very unreliable but thats my opinion

    almost any motherboard will take ur processor as long as its Socket 478

    good luck post back once you have chosen :)

    k. well i make alot of posts because it is all different situations. umm i chose the asus matx one because the atx dfi is not available from anyone. i have to get this one cus my 2001 asus board took a crap and my compnents only fit that. no use in buying a good one. imma fix this comp and give to my girl then build the comp i posted about earlier. i just wanted to make sure that either mobo would accept all my components and what not. i know the processor and vid card will work. thanks for the help.
