Is this a good motherboard?

-ABIT "IS7-V2" 848P Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU

 

[Praetor]

Yes and no. For that chipset, yes. Overall, no. It i848 is one of the crappier chipsets: hunt down a i865PE which shouldnt be much more costwise

How about this?

- ECS "865PE-A" i865PE Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU

 

[Praetor]

For that chipset, yes. Overall, no.

My bad i should have said, "for the brand, yes. overall no" ... avoid ECS like the plague Here's a sweet i865PE board
