I'm shopping around for a motherboard for the new PC I'm building. Any ideas please? Here's the spec I'm looking for:
-----
Socket 478 for high-end Pentium 4 Prescott CPU
FSB 800
DDR 400 RAM. Max 4GB
4 x RAM slots
RAM speed shouldn't drop if I use more than two slots, as it does with some motherboards.
USB 2.0 sockets
Firewire socket
6.1 sound
5+ PCI slots
AGP 8x
2 x P-ATA-133 slots
2 x S-ATA slots
Ethernet - upgradeable to wireless networking.
2 x serial ports
1x parallel printer port
USB/Firewire/sound front port connection
Option in BIOS, so system can boot from USB device (eg external floppy).
-----
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
