Most stable Main board with P4?

[King Kong]

I'm planning to by a P4 system for digi001, anyone have any good idea for a stabe main board with P4? thanks

I'm using an Asus P4T which seems to be ok

by all reports, the asus p4t is the most stable and by far the fastest for multimedia apps. (check out http://www.tomshardware.com for failrly well balanced reporting) also make sure you get the latest model, p4t-e which uses socket 478 instead of socket 423. socket 423 is being dropped by intel, so the fastest processor it'll support is 2ghz. 478 is billed at 3ghz+. personally i'd advise to stay clear of amd for protools. they can be a real pain if your not a supergeek.

Rockit, quite the opposite, I'd dump Intell for AMD. I've never had a problem with my 1.33 and I'm hardly tech savy.

many people agree with you. but i hear of many others who have no end of problems. usually just configuation issues but some buy a mainboard with an ali chipset and have no luck. i guess thourough research is the key. in my opinion if you're spending almost as much on a p4/athlon system as you would to buy a g4, go out and get the g4. but then this discussion is about the most stable paltform for the pentium 4 and that would seem to be the asus p4t-e, as mentioned earlier [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
