Can't Decide

[Icedragon]

Hey guys I can't decide between these motherboards, ive done quite a bit of research on them and they all seem great, but now I just need opinions. The Giga-byte Mobo sounds nice, because they seem to have a good rep.

CHAINTECH 9CJS ZENITH
GIGABYTE GA-8IK1100
Abit IC7 Max 3

I WOULD POST IN HARDWARE BUT IT WON'T LET ME FOR SOME REASON, COULD A MOD MOVE THIS TO HARDWARE PLEASE

hmmm

All the motherboards seem great. All good names.

but another question I have is, what is the advantage of a 875P chipset over say an 865PE?

I believe the 875P Chipset offers more things over the 865P

I would go with the abit mobo, it is the most overclockable board out there. They are very popular. I love my IC7-G, and I have OCed just to see what it would do, and I was very impressed. It is possible to get the max III over a gig FSB....that rocks!

The Abit motherboard is the best for overclocking.

Just decide what you are going to put inside the motherboard, then you choice won't be so hard
