i agree... ditto.. anyways...if you're planning on using anything higher than pc2700/pc3000....then get a single stick...otherwise 2 sticks are fine... :eek: <b>L <font color=red>A</font color=red> e <font color=red>T</font color=red> a <font color=red>I</font color=red> K</b> :eek:

lemme see if i can answer your question... yes...the 845PE has been released very recently under the name of asus P4PE...its a really neat motherboard IMO...but at a high price....close to $200 last time i check (in US dollars)... anyways...i think your P4B533 will do you just nicely...it has...

not that i know of...your guess is as good as (but probably better) than mines... :eek: <b>L <font color=red>A</font color=red> e <font color=red>T</font color=red> a <font color=red>I</font color=red> K</b> :eek:

the intel chipset will cost considerably more the the sis648 chip (about 50% give or take)...if you're wanting to go sis648...id recommend the gigabyte 8SG667...its a god when compared to the P4S8X...except for the fact that the board doesnt come with voltage mods (adjustable vcore) so...

i think a motherboard with the sis648 chipset will meet your needs... i think the gigabyte 8SG667 would be good for you... :eek: <b>L <font color=red>A</font color=red> e <font color=red>T</font color=red> a <font color=red>I</font color=red> K</b> :eek:

well...you should remove that black pad if you can...its better for the thermal performance...and replace it with some thermal paste like arctic silver 3 or something....but not removing it wont kill your cpu either...so its pretty much up to you....but if you absolutley want to play...

it could be a memory problem...try your mushkin ram on another system to see if it works...or grab another stick of ddr memory and try it on your system... thats all i can think of right now other then taking your system apart and rebuilding everything... :eek: <b>L <font color=red>A</font...

im not sure if the 2600+ will debut close to $500... the 2400+ is already around $200...i dont think the 2600+ will be twice the cost... anyways...i still think that the AXP are still a better bang for the buck (you can get a 1800+ for less than $100...can you find a P4 1.8a for about that...

take a look at the gigabyte board (8SG667)...its supposed to be much much better when compared to the P4S8X.... dont count on it...ever since SIS stop supporting the official use of ddr400 memory (or development at least)...the 648DX went out the windows as well... anyways...i would recommend...

the only new thing about the 845PE is that it now supports ddr333 memory and it has hyperthreading support for future P4's... <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.html?i=1723" target="_new">http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.html?i=1723</A> a lil review... :eek: <b>L <font...

the chipset is almost neglible...just get the motherboard that has the features you want...ie. firewire, raid, blah blah blah... the only reason for you to get the KT400 is to use AGP 8x...which gives a neglible amount of increase in performance anyways... :eek: <b>L <font color=red>A</font...

i have one question.... have you seen <A HREF="http://www.hardforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=506435" target="_new">this</A>? :eek: <b>L <font color=red>A</font color=red> e <font color=red>T</font color=red> a <font color=red>I</font color=red> K</b> :eek:

the 2600+ IMO, is the best bang for the buck...but...it only exists on paper (for the time being)... id say...go with the P4 2.53 and overclock the kimchee out of it... :eek: <b>L <font color=red>A</font color=red> e <font color=red>T</font color=red> a <font color=red>I</font color=red>...

you might wanna try out the P4B533...it's a ddr based motherboard from asus...it also can run ram at ddr354 (slightly higher than ddr333)...so make sure you get ram that can handle that speed... :eek: <b>L <font color=red>A</font color=red> e <font color=red>T</font color=red> a <font...

like i said...it does unofficially...which means that it can run ram at ddr400 speeds without overclocking. however, it is not supported by asus so use at your own risk... :eek: <b>L <font color=red>A</font color=red> e <font color=red>T</font color=red> a <font color=red>I</font color=red>...
