WHich MotherBoard is best...AsUS or InTel

Hello Friends,

I have planned to buy Intel Pentium duel core 3.4 processor, but I am confused which motherboard I have to buy ASUS or INTEL. Can u help me................?

thankX

Chip Set 945,965,975 And Budget

ASUS is best for AMD based mobos and MSI is also very good but for intel intel original boards are better but asus is also good

Any suitable motherboard which support DDR2 & around 5500-6000 RS

P

^^ intel 945 and 946 chipset based motherboards are available for ur budget

same thought when i saw the Q

yeah intel D102 is also good

I find intel boards to be the best. May not be the best overclockers or high of features, but they are very stable. Intel boards also give you a good 3 years warranty which counts.

@thinkdigitreader, dude, when you buy DDR2 800MHz RAM, be very careful in selecting the model, coz most of the Intel Motherboards (even the latest DG965WH) supports only upto 1.8 Volts.

i bought 1GB Corsair DDR2 800MHz RAM which runs @ 1.9 Volts, which the 965 does not support.

. this RAM is costlier than the mobo itself

, thats why i'm still confused on what to do, sell RAM or mobo

these types are supported in P Series. (i guess

)

& Original Intel mobo's are not at all meant for Overclocking

yeah these RAMS are supported in P series and yo should sell your MOBO COZ the ram you got is a very very nice ram so dont sell it off until you have great amount of money to waste

What abt Intel D101GGCL motherboard...............?

many frnds also suggested me to keep the RAM

& sell the mob.

does any P Series mobo have Onboard gfx. like GMA X3000.

& whats the cost of any P Series mobo which support LGA775 & most of c2d.

it also is 1.8v supported

The best value for money motherboard is the MSI P965 Neo. Its around 6 grand and based on the P965 chipset. It overclocks rather well too for the price and supports ram voltages upto 2.4V. However as with any P965 board, no onboard graphics... just get a cheap x300 or 6200tc.

thanks for the info @Ch@0s
but if i get a P965 based mobo, then can i install a DX10 card (like 8300gt).

You can install a DX10 card in any mobo that has a PCI-E x16 slot. So the answer is yes.

do not go for 101 go for 102 it is better and as per my opinion ASUS boards are OK.
Btw u stole my avtar

Buddy I was waiting for an update on this.....Do not sell the RAM, sell the mobo if you have too. Go for ASUS P5B Delux or Gigabyte DS3. Awsome boards.

sorry sam, but i havent still tested the mobo & RAM, thats why i could not update there ("post what you puchased".. thread)

that guy (my vendor) hasnt returned yet.

I'll inform you guys when i get it tested.

dont take me wrong dude.

I think this is value for money board and thus selling like hot cake. It makes a sense to buy cheap X300 graphic card as this board do not have onboard graphics.

I think you should sell the Intel motherbaord and try one from MSI or Asus. They have great boards.

You are absolutely right. For me MSI and then Asus. Intel at the last when no other option available.

Not only Intel D102 with ATI onboard is good one but it is best for those who can not afford graphic card. But sadly it do not support C2D and it is Micro ATX.

Moreover can't expect any more followups mobos in Intel platform with ATI graphics onbaord due to ATI merger with AMD.

Great injustice by ATI to those 80% with Intel platform, who were eagerly waiting for Intel chipset motherbaord by ATI with onboard gfx for C2D.

I've had three machines giving problems with ASUS boards installed. Only one Asus machine is fine. All my intel original machines are working without any trouble (eight of them)....some of them 810e boards running celerons...

O

ASUS for Enthusiast......... Intel original for normal users.........
MSI never used one........ most of ASUS boards are quad core ready and they have a version that has ATI 300 on board with DDR2 and SATA2 (3.0Gbps support) and quality service from RP tech so buy the board imported by RP tech if opting for ASUS (At least RP Tech has good service in North India) do not know about Rest.....

I

intel is my choice.

wat u think about intel 2.66 dual core intel original
