Ok im fixing to update my rig and probably make or mod a case for it and i was wondering what the best mobo for socket 478 is? Current rig Intel P4 3.0ht Intel d865perl 1 gig ram ati 9800 video card 200 gig hd 80 gig storage Im thinking i will probably keep the 3.0 but i might upgrade the whole shebang im also looking to do watercooling so i want to keep my upgrade budget to a minimum Thanks
Honestly I think updating the motherboard for a 478 socket chip is a bit pointless. You can get a very nice dual core system for very little money. I see you are in the states so will not quote you UK prices.
You already got one of the best socket 478 motherboard, therefore I agree to shadow12 - you should be upgrading to dual core system.
