ok so 915 or 945 motherboards will work it seams?
now there are 2 major questions.
firstly are the mother boards still available in the market and are
they still actively supported?
by actively I mean if some chipset is giving problem how fast is the
service?
Generally a week or two if you directly give it to the Gigabyte SC.
Intel takes almost a month. Nowadays they respond very slowly to the
emails. The problems I have rarely got in Gig 915 are no power on
trigger to the SMPS. That too on a pc that kept going off a few times
due to power cuts/trips. Always use an earthed power point or your mobo
will get spoiled.
secondly, I am interested in p4 3 ghz processors.
I herd that there are only pinless processores available now a days?
is that true?
Upto 845 it was a pin processor. Then from 915, 101, 102ggc it was
pinless and with SATA support. 945 and 102 ggc have DDR2 RAM.
and I will be installing on a sata hdd.
so given all this if I choose gigabyte will it be a good choice?
Ask your supplier about the Gigabyte board. SATA support is no problem
for the new distros. No idea about 945 chipset.

Rony.
