ASUS! The best!

I dont know.... It depends.... whats the processor?

I think if u are planning use AMD the EliteGroup had some better motherboards than ASUS.

But if u are planing overclocking use ASUS because is much more resistent to Hidrogen ;-D

Intel and ASUS!

It really depends on what type of CPU you are using. If you are using an AMD CPU, which most gamers use, Elitegroup's motherboards should be quite good enough. However, if you're getting Intel or Pentium CPU, you should also get an Intel motherboard.

I am presently using an AMD CPU so I use the Elitegroup Motherboard. However, choosing motherboards not only soley depend on the CPU, there are lots of stuff, such as PCI slots, AGP slots, front bus speeds, RAM slots and so on.

I think to use AMD processor for low cost. Elite Group is not in Argentine, have another name??
A friend have a AMD processor (duron) at 2500 mhz with 128 mb of ram + mother asrock and is too low, my computer is more fast that this (pentium III 750 mhz with Windows Xp), you reccomend a AMD processor??

Thanks!

I agree with Shackman; one component of a PC depends on another.

As for AMD chips, I wouldn't recommend them if you do high-end work that depends on CPU power, then Pentium 4 is a must. But for common business apps and simple graphics loads, AMD chips are more than adequate for these.

[Ariel]

Yes, i agree with you...i think that i buy pentium 4 because i work with many software of design...
ASUS Mother + PENTIUM 4...what you think?? works??

Yep, my high-end rig is a P4 on an ASUS and I haven't had a problem since I bought it more than a year ago. But to give ur PC a leg up get as much memory as you can specially if your using it for intensive programs.
