    Motherboard recommendations?

    The time has come for me to build a new PC... with a hard drive that's ticking like a time bomb, I figured I might as well upgrade everything while I'm in there.

    I've decided on a P4 3.0 800 FSB CPU. At $270, it seems to be right at my sweet spot for the CPU price.

    Now I need some recommendations for a good motherboard to run this with. Any suggestions?

    The Asus P4C800-E Deluxe is one of the best. It has all the options you could want for connectivity and overclocking. Link

    if you don't want to spend so much, check out the Abit IS7 series. My IS7-E is on its way, was <$95 from newegg.

    I have an Abit and 2 Soyo boards, all have been extremely stable. I run .NET server on the Abit, XP Pro workstation on one Soyo and Win2K Pro on the other. They have been up practically 24/7 for over a year with no problems.
