I was thinking about putting a Asus P4C800-E Deluxe ($175) mobo paired with an Pentium 4 Prescott 3E GHz ($190).
But now that I think about it, I do not want to have to upgrade again because of PCI-E and DDR2 and such being new technology. So now I am thinking of either a Asus P5AD2 Deluxe 925X P4 ($225) paired with either a P4 Prescott 3.4 ($277) or a P4 Prescott 3.2 ($217).
Someone recommended a GIGABYTE GA-8GPNXP (~$200). Would the ASUS P5AD2 or the GIGABYTE GA-8GPNXP be a better investment?
Also, I was planning on getting a Radeon 9800 Pro 256 MB AGP for the video card, but someone also recommended if I get a PCI-E mobo to get the X700 Pro 256 PCI-E. Anyone have a recommendation over these two?
