Default Where to buy Processor / Motherboard?

Hello

I'm looking to by a Pentium 4E (one of these http://www.dabs.com/uk/ProductView?quicklinx=3145) and a motherboard (which I haven't decided yet).

Can anyone recommend somewhere cheaper than dabs?

Thanks,

Steve.

Hello

Thank you for the link, they are a few pounds cheaper. Well, I thought that the Pentiums have caught up with AMD these days? And so fast because I want it to last a couple of years.

What would you recommend instead?

Thanks,

Steve.

The new AMD 64 Socket 939 3500+ 90nm Newcastle is getting rave reviews. It overclocks really well and will match the FX53/3800 in pretty much everything. You can get it for around 230 quid.

Hello

Ebuyer still seems to be best on price.

P4E £105 + VAT.

Does anyone have anything to say about the Abit AI7 865PE motherboard?

Thanks,

Steve.

im using the AI7, have had no probs with it. read some good reviews regarding OC'ing and said it was good so i got it. ive no idea how it compares to any other out there. But the on the fly OCing is very good.
