Intel Motherboards - 8xx
With socket 755 sales turning out at less than spectacular levels, 8xx-based boards, those which run from the older socket 478, have proven to be a tough nut to crack when it comes to retiring the old and ushering in the new. This isn't a bad thing at all, since 8xx-based boards have been around for a while and have had all the time in the world to prove their stability and performance to us.Abit's own 875P implementation, the IC7-G MaxII, has been on the scene for long enough to know that its performance is exactly what Intel buyers demand from a motherboard. Again, lower price wins out as the Abit manages to undercut the prices on other top-end boards, including MSI's Neo-FIS2R, which is also an 875P chipset-based board.

Fixed, and fixed. Perhaps it takes more than 2 hours of sleep and a box of caffiene pills to write =)Schnook121 - Thursday, November 18, 2004 - link
I think on the page about the A64's, the socket 939 3200+ is a winchester core, not a newcastlenthexwn - Thursday, November 18, 2004 - link
Celerons come in socket 748!? ;)I take joy in thinking to myself every time that I'm bored, "Every hour, computers are getting faster and cheaper!" And when I want to know how much faster/cheaper I come here!
Been lurking around for ages, and finally bothered to register!
I have yet to see a computer store ANYWHERE that can beat the anandtech/newegg combo for info/parts!
GJ!
