MOBO for Intel 478 pin CPU

[ashnik]

HI,
I need a suggestion about a motherboard for Intel 478 pin CPUs offering best onboard graphics and an AGP port...
I already have
P4 2.8 GHz (478 pin)
512 MB DDR 333

[topgear]

I recently went to Nehru Place in Delhi and to my surprise socket 478 mobos are out of stock!! Man in a place like Nehru Place it was weird...
You most probably won't get a new mobo for socket 478 cpu. Since the mrkt is flooded with LGA 775 sockets which support C2D
I was lucky to get a 2nd hand GIGABYTE mobo and its perfectly fine.

Mobo: GIGABYTE 82845GE RZ
Spec: Supports HT technology socket 478 CPU.
3 memory modules capacity.
AGP 8x slot.

cost : Rs 1.7K with 8 months warranty.

Try searching a lot before you get your choice of mobo.. Best of Luck

hey a 2.6 Ghz cpu is not bad to work upon.. I think its the user's choice to move on to other socket type by extending the budget..

well , when u get to work on vista , then u will come to know that wat's bad & wat's good,

I still don't think 2.66 Ghz is less to run Vista.. As more of its components are dependent on GFX memory

thabks guys 4 ur help..
It's a P4 2.8 GHz, very good CPU still.
BTW I am gonna buy mobo only, no upgrade to AM2, as the main intention of this mobo is to sit in office and run Tally, MS Office etc.

Peace

MODs PLZ lock the thread

Hey we are not fighting seriously.. It was just a healthy argument!!

[rohit_bawa]

i think Ghz does not matter its the performance, i came across a system at a store which was running vista with celeron 3 Ghz and 1Gb+ ram
And its rating was '1'

So I don't understand, what's the verdict what should Ashnik buy. I too would like to upgrade my board. actually I tried that awhile ago bought a $40 SIS board on ebay and had it crap out on me in two months. my sys is basically the same. Mine is missing the AGP slot, hence why I want a different board (use it for ACAD and the odd game). have 2.6 Ghz,768 MB DDR 333. we are just simply lookin for a board.

Go for MSI PM8M-V.Gr8 mobo for 478 pin cpu.
