So, I've been looking around, and since people always post their thoughts here on their new PC's, I thought I would add to the mix. The motherboard I am currently looking at is this guy here : <a href='http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=866224&Sku=A455-1028E' target='_blank'>http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...&Sku=A455-1028E</a>

I am basically needing a 8x AGP capable board with room for at least 2 sticks of capable of min. 400 mghz ram, and at least 3 PCI slots. If you know any other decent mobo's that meet the needs that are usually cheaper, please let me know. Keep in mind that site is in Canadian dollars, thanks!

    Get this MB, I got it because someone on these forums recomended it over a much cheaper one that I was going to get and I do not regret getting it.

    It's great, installed easy, runs really well, it has features that let you controll and monitor fan speed and keep tabs on your comps temp.

    It's a great MB you can't go wrong with it.

    Comprox, mine is a <a href='http://www.pctoyland.com/prod_635.htm' target='_blank'>Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2</a> , and that meets all the requirements you specified there. At £65 UK, you could do much worse. It's one of the best Mobo's I've ever bought, especially for the price.

    Gets Shockwave's hardware rating of 4 1/2 'Pwned DOOManiacs'

    One problem. That's for an Athalon (I'm assuming that Comprox is using a P4 since the P4P800E is for a P4), and its only about $20 cheaper (Canadian dollars). I've got the P4P800E Deluxe and its quite nice, works perfectly. I'd definatey recommend it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
