How about Intel motherboards?

[David]

Hi,

Understandably there are a lot of fans here of Asus, Gigabyte and Abit motherboards, but as far as I can see not much is being said about the Intel D875PBZ mobo.

For anyone who just wants a solid, reliable board, and who is not really into serious overclocking, this looks to me like a prety safe buy... if you can actually get hold of one, that is!

Is anyone here actually using one, and if so, what do they think of it?

Thanks,

You might want to check out this site: ABXZone. I know of at least one person that is using the board with a 3.0C - realdieu and there are a few others. Here's a link with a search done for ya: :)

Hi pointreyes,

Thanks for the info and the link!

However I am actually a member and fairly regular contributor to the ABXZone Forums, where I know you are also a moderator!

Thought I would drop a post on here though, just in case there were any different or new views or opinions of this particular board.

I know it has its critics, as do they all, but as I am not really into overclocking... cant really see the need with a 3 GHz CPU and a Radeon Pro 9800... it seems like a good solid board.

Mind you, having said that I am not really into overclocking, perhaps I am on the wrong forum here after all... although my hardware is still fairly 'BleedinEdge' I suppose! :)

Cheers,

Hehe...yeah, you're probably not going to get much of a response since this whole board is about overclocking....;):)

To answer you question tho, Intel boards have an excellent reputation, even among overclockers, for being good performing and very stable motherboards....:)

If your not going to overclock,there probably isn't a better board than the Intel:wave:
