best 478 mobo with PCI-e

[jackvdbuk]

hi, check my system <<<<< and my 9800 is aging a lil and therefor would liek a pci card but not upgrade cpu at the moment, just want a 478 mobo with PCI-e capabilities

Hi! Well it has to be this one! I installed that mobo yesturday, and it is fantastic! Pci-e, AGP, 8 usb ports and 4 ram banks!! Reccomended!

Hey AtomicFuse, glad you like that motherboard

It was the first one I could find with both PCI-e and AGP for socket 478, so great for anyone upgrading. I guess it's the P4 equivalent of the lovable Asrock dualsata2

Any idea what the overclocking options are like?

Ha yeh, a bit cheap! I was a little skeptical about the price, but it is a well made board (as far as I know) supports up to '3.4+'
My processor installed is 3.4 but does the '+' mean you could take it higher? As such I don't really know its O/C capabilities!!

I was just looking for the same thing today. Theres an asrock one that didnt look great and two asus ones. That one you were shown and this one. It doesnt have agp like that other one but is does have onboard graphics in the form of an ati x300.

Neither card seems very overclocking friendly im afraid.

hmmm the ones i was lookin at is with the newer 915p and 915pl chipsets from asus, costs around 50 quid. whats the differnce bewteen the one atomicfuse has got and them 2?

[Scarlet Infidel]

see....

[Scarlet Infidel]

My mistake! Or rather the mistake of the website selling that model number as 775.

[AtomicFuse]

this is my one. More details found there!

[jackvdbuk]

its not a website mistake, ive seen one of them sold online :/ botu 50 quid. i just want a mobo that supports PCI-e onlny not agp aswell

[jackvdbuk]

1 x PCI Express x16 (x4 mode only)

i noticed that in the specs, what does that mean?

[AtomicFuse]

lol, there aren't many 478 boards around now! i wouldn't worry about the other agp slot, its hard to find a perfect 478 board at the moment! the asus is one of the few that has pci-e!!

[jackvdbuk]

hmmm i hear the call of an entrepenuer arising can some1 lend me half a million to open a facotry?

[AtomicFuse]
