Hey guys, thinking about getting a little Pee4 action going on and I m wondering which mobo would be the best choice in terms of speed, longevity and OC'ing of course
The Asus P4S533 w/ the SiS 645DX chipset looks really nice, but would it be better to go with one of the new Intel chipsets (845E or 845G...although from what I've read the E is nothing special) because the Intel chipset would be more likely to be compatible with prescott?
Anyways, what are some good boards being used? I don't really have a brand preference...although all the comps I've owned have had Asus boards and I've never had a problem with them. However, I got no problem with a little change of pace.
which P4 mobo is the best?

Let Cam, take care of your breasts
i have a msi 645 ultra which is pretty bare bones but ok - the 645 chipset has good memory throughput - if you want to get some serious oc gooing, make sure you can adjust the ram and vid voltage - newegg had refurb msi 845 baord for about `50 earlier this week - the plain 845 chipset seems to overcvlock well like the ol bx, you probably don't need all that onboard stuff

I've got a P4S533... it kicks mucho booty but I've yet to fully test the overclockability..
the memory performance on this chipset is awesome

I'd go with the Gigabyte board sublimez mentioned. It's a bit expensive, especially if you opt for PC1066 RAM, but the features, stability, and performance warrant the cost. It's a far better value than the Asus i850E solutions.
