I went today to get the P4 and mobo deal for 229. For some reason it is cheaper than just getting the cpu which is 249 at Frys. I guess they want to get rid of the cheap mobo.:disgust:

P4 socket 423 or 478?

I'm about to build a new p4 system. I can't decide to buy the socket 423 or the 478 chipset. All I know is that the socket 478 is more expensive. Are there any advantages to getting the socket 478? Tell me the pros and cons please. Any replys will be appreciated.:confused:
