[shyamthakkar]

Which is a better MOBO for an Intel® Pentium® 4 processor 3.0C/E GHz, 800MHz FSB, 90nm?

Intel D865GBFL OR Asus P4P800-VM

Thanks,
Shyam

Dunno about the "F" extension but I have D865GBF and it works really fine for me....

 

[Prashray]

I too have D865GBF and it too works fine.

intel is standard ... vanila no extra features .. not overclockable
asus gives extra features ... is overclockable and extremely stable
if u got cash and want to overclock .. asus is ur choice

 

[prateek_san]

well go for ASUS its got more features than Intel original ....

 

[shyamthakkar]

Thanks a lot NikhilVerma, Prashray, theraven, dursleyin for your replies.
I really appreciate it you all taking the time.

when u say features, can u plz elaborate, i am not sure what u mean?

go 4 ASUS it has tons of OC features

 

[theraven]

features =
1) extra usb 2.0 ports
2) maybe firewire ports
3) wifi bundle ( on specific models)
4) gigabit (1000mbps) lan
5) onboard graphics
6) 6 channel onboard sound
etc etc.
these features depend on the model u buy
plus its overclockable like i mentioned ...
so dude if u dun have much knowledge and these thigns dont make a difference just go for intel ...
it'll be 1-1.5k cheaper too between these 2 mobos ..

 

[shyamthakkar]

both the mobos have 8 usb 2.0 ports
none have firewire ports
what is a wifi bundle
865GBF also has gigabit lan but no use in mumbai hence going for 10/100 lan
both have the same 865 chipset hence the same onboard sound card and graphics card

but since i am not going to overclock and cheaper, i will go for intel

what say?

 

[icecoolz]

like u said since ur not gonna overclock and since u dont need gigabit lan go for the intel one...one thing...are you lookin to upgrade any other components in the near future ? I have a ASUS A7N8X-E deluxe mobo...amazing stuff....best mobo I have had till date.

Wifi bundle - wireless connetivity ready....no messy cable...but I aint usin it right now....

LOL ! raven its the p4p800-VM no overclocking here, no Oc'ing options in the BIOS !! If u want overclocking go with the p4p800/p4p800 dlx/p4p800-e/p4p800-x.


@icecoolz: he is asking for a Intel mobo buddy

 

[pradeep_chauhan]

hey i too have the asus board there is NO OVERCLOCKING here. Wonder how you come up with such amazing tips. Also no gigabit lan plain 10/100 mbps. by the way this is not a good goard to go for today. there are much better options available. i bought this board 18 months ago then it was hot.

 

[theraven]

NO OC on an asus BOARD ?
now ive heard everything
well anyways .. like i said those features are model specific
anyways i still prefer asus ....

 

[icecoolz]

blade: I told him to go for the Intel mobo if hes not gonna over clock....I just posted my mobo info cos I am so happy with it! lol

u can overclock intel ones by using software like CPUCool or CPUFSB

 

[blade_runner]

]u can overclock intel ones by using software like CPUCool or CPUFSB

Provided ur PLL IC or mobo is supported. But the overclocks arent that gr8 neways.......but i guess somethings better than nothing.
