Default Mobo for P4 HT.
What's a good motherboard for a P4 HT processor?

Needed features.

SATA (Raid possibly), Onboard sound would be nice, Onboard lan or dual lan.

That's about it.

I'm usually use to AMD boards but Intel boards I'm not sure what's good or not. Reason being, I'm thinking about building a P4 system for the first time in years.
There's no place like 127.0.0.1
Antec P182b, i7 920, 12GB Ram,HD6870, X-Fi Platinum, 128GB SATAIII Crucual, 2x 640GB AALS

intel makes a good no nonsense board if you are not looking to overclock.
MSI P6NGM-L LGA 775
Intel Celeron E1400 Allendale 2.0GHz 512KB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
OCZ Gold Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5400)
EVGA 512-P2-N756-TR GeForce 8600 GT 512MB RAIDMAX AURORA 2 RX-600F 600W ATX12V V2.2
EXCELSTOR Jupiter Series ESJ9250S 250GB

p4p800 - stable and has lots of features (including overclock)

non deluxe has SATA raid but no firewire or ide raid

deluxe has all of it =)

---

if you want a bit more faster motherboard- go for the p4C800-- it uses the 875 chipset instead of the 865pe

I'm planning to upgrade my motherboard as well. Hence I've done some searching and found the SiS 655FX chip to be very attractive. Check this link out http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.html?i=1879

I haven't found a Gigabyte manufactured one here in Korea. There aren't any noticeable difference with the other manufacturers except the onboard sound chip is different. Gigabyte uses the Realtek one. Don't know if that's better, worse, or equal to others. The most attractive thing about this, if you're not into overclocking, is its price.
