Ok , ive been having the time old issue of getting the right motherboard for my system.My asus up and freaking crashed one day and I went out and bought a sapphire crossfire board (no on board gfx) , i switched out my chip and all that crap and im getting that fatal blue screen with irq-not equal blah blah blah , this mobo hates switching to standard pc so that is out of the question .Im using a scope project card with and intel 3.0 ghz chip and 2 gigs ddr ram.The chip i have is a 775 so it would be great if you guys could suggest boards from that denomination.I really dont want to know how to fix the problem , i want to know what has been working for you guys , the best motherboard for the job that has had the least problems out of the box .I really dont like rebuilding my computer every second day , so I hope the next mobo i buy will be my last.

Cheers

i always use genuine intel motherboards and they always work. currently, i'm using the d965ryck with 775 pocessors. asus is also a good choice with an intel chipset.

my guess is you have a bad motherboard out of the box. it happens sometimes. if you can, you might pull the scope card, and check the ram for errors and swap out the graph card to be sure that the problem isn't there.

I'm currently putting together a system based on an Intel DP965LT motherboard, having read of other pulsarians having success with it. Will post results.

that one works very well in my experience.

My case tempuratures and noise levels have dropped dramatically with the E series 965LT combo, and processing power has increased. I finally bought a combo that was as exciting as the PIII Tualitin w/ 512 cache was.

Garyb, you say that a genuine intel chipset should work right. I'm not in budget in these days, but I would to change my P3-800 on Asus Cusl2c. I've found this:

If I'm not wrong ASROCK is a the cheap brand of ASUS. Does it woks well and stable with our boards? I plan to buy a pentium D processor for this board and 500Mb of ddr400 ram.

Is in your opinion a smart move or should I stay with the old board? I use the pc only to make music and I don't plan to overclock anything.

Anyone else has any opinion?

Thankyou in advance

I bought ASUS PDW DH Deluxe with intel chipset 775 and works dammn sweet, I have a Luna 2 and M-audio ozone and at least the 2 months i've been having this mobo i never had any problem.

Snap! I've been on the ASUS CUSL2C and P800 combo too! Since I first got the Pulsar back in 99

It's done me proud, been very stable and I've no complaints. It is now long overdue replacement,

I'm thinking the most cost effectice CPU now would be a HT 3.0 or 3.2. But what motherboard to go for?

So I wonder what you peeps advise?

an intel D965RY or D965LT is $100-125. a core duo E6300 is about $185. that's pretty damn cheap and fast and ultra stable, not to mention current. it should be plenty for a long time.....

if you go with the P4, turn off HT and go for an intel D865PERL., also about $100. rock stable like your old asus.

as i have promised here is a mobo that works great with a scope pro (14dsp) : the Intel D975XBX2.
graphic board : gigabyte 7600GT fanless
Intel E6600

Very stable !!!!!

The Cusl2-c was released in late 2000 - around december, I think.
