Hey Machine AKA- Hardware Master

I have a P4 2.4 533mhz processor and need a new motherboard to go with it. What do you suggest?

Not too familiar with Intel stuff. Behind you or Slice would better answer your question. Sorry.

I would get an Asus P4S533, it's cheap, fast, and reliable.

If you're loaded, sell the 2.4 get a 3.06 HT and an Asus P4G8X. :P

Damn that looked good until I noticed it only supports a max of a 2.2GHz processor. :(

I've got the ASUS P4B533.............with a P4 2gig, does that mean I can only upgrade to a 2.2?

Thanks Slash....................I wish I understood the overclocking information.............I'm afraid I'd burn something up, if I tried it.
It will have to wait until the next OUTLAWS lan party.
My brother works for a company that sells "returned" PC's, and he has access to a foam packing machine (so my PC should be safe for traveling).
