There are many great P4 mobos! I recomend either a Abit or Gigabyte.... Let me know what your price range is, Some will recomend Asus...

These three are worth looking into! I own them all! They are the best of the best!

I have a price range at most £100

Thanks man, maybe the extra £30 will be worth the effort in the end.

Also iam going to get this
chip

What cooling would be recommended for something like this.

Thats where the problem is... Due to the OTES cooling on that mobo it is dificult to fit some of the realy good ones on it! How much OC do you plan on doing on it? say 3.2, 3.4GHz

This one is nice,

Yea not much really i might even leave it at stock depends how it benchmarks, but i would like to keep it relativly cool.

The stock heat sink is quite good! it has a coper slab and aluminum fins, I am now using a Jet 4 from cooler master! It is not that loud and after I used some AS5 on it my temps have droped 10c! but its not the best heat sink out there... If I were you I'd go for a 3Ghz P4 and keep the stock cooling for a while! Then see how it runs, I was able to OC mine to 3.8GHz on stock cooling!

[richman]

Just a quick one tho, i cant find anywhere that sells the 3.0ghz p4c all they seem to sell are prescotts which i heard run hot

Edit: Is this a p4c chip

prescotts!

Well, they run VERY hot and they have a large pipline... This is not good when they run at 3GHz... However the 3.6Ghz are much better! But cost a arm and leg...

I dont know if the link will work...

[richman]

Cheers i think i will stick with the 2.8ghz for now

nope...

But its at a good price!

Edit: Also a D1 revision will OC better! But I dont know how to tell which revision you will get!

[richman]

nope...

But its at a good price!

Good price as you said but then i have the problem of trying to keep it cool. I think my origional decision for the 2.8 p4c will be best
