MOBO for my 2.4P4

[Jdogwelch]

My first post at AT
Anyone have any suggestions on a MOBO and ATX case for less than about 100 for the 2. I want one that I can use with my 2.4P4 that will work well with the outpost 1gb DDR deal without giving me a bottle neck effect at the mobo level. All suggestions welcome. I am trying to optimize the 2.4 I don't want to get some dirt cheap mobo if the P4 is going to outperform it with the 1 gb of ddr. Thanks,
JW

If you are trying to squeeze a M/B and a case in for under 100 it isn't going to happen. If you really wanted to you could but you would regret it later as you get what you pay for most of the time in computers.

For cases i would look at the Chieftec Dragons if you are on a budget, also look at Antec.

Gamingphreek,
I hadd planned to put together a computer using:

Intel 800/1066 925ecv2
3.4 ghz
x850xt oem powered by ATI
a gig mem

but as I look thru all the post it seems everyone is using AMD
and Asus boards. Why?

Kevin,
Thanks for the tip. I will go ahead and spend a little more if thats the case. I have made the mistake of skimping on some of this stuff before. I thought I might be able to get away with it or if anyone knew of any specials deals going on besides the 99barebones with the ooold MOBO.
