Last June I wanted to build myself a new P4 based system. I am getting into Astrophotography and want to edit the photos in Photoshop.
My two previous motherboards I had were from Asus (P4S8X and P4PE). The P4S8X I could not get to run more then 2 days without getting a BSOD. Try everything I could to get it to run stable, but never did.
Then I got the P4PE. That install worked good for awhile. Then all of the sudden I would here a click for the hard drive as if it parked itself as if I powered down my system. Ran all kinds of hard drive utilities and found nothing wrong with the hard drive.
So I bought a Abit IC7-G. Same components that were in both the P4S8X and the P4PE went into the IC7-G. And the system has worked perfectly since early July. The only thing I did add was 2 Western Digital 36 gig Raptors running Raid 0. The other hard drives are for storage and a Scratch Disk.
If I had to add another system I would get another IC7-G.

I am building up a still photo editing computer from components and the ASUS P4P800 DLX seems to be an attractive and straight forward motherboard. Is anyone else using this and what do you think of it. Thank you.
