What motherboard would i need?

[Colefc]

I'm after a new motherboard but not looking to spend loads as this is just a temporary fix for now as i will be getting a new Computer next year.

I'm not that clued up on mobo's, i know how to fit them and get them going but thats about it.
The board needs to take:
Pentium 4 3.2g hyper thread
184-pin sockets for memory
An AGP slot
sata slots
and it has to be a micro atx.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Colefc, I think you may have trouble getting a motherboard to meet all your spec.

I suggest you log into the major suppliers like scan misco and a few others and enter your criteria in their search engines.

I went through this recently and had to make a few compromises like a change to PCI-E graphics just to keep my other components.

hi, try microdirect, they are still stocking p4 socket 478 motherboards with agp x8 and sata interface

you could try ebay if your looking for an asus board you cant go wrong with any of the p800 series for that cpu look for a p4-p800c that should give the best performance and features. gl. cya.

oh no i would not try ebay as they might be cons about selling a motherboard and they might not even send it to you even if you had won one of the motherboards off ebay also the people selling the motherboards on ebay might be a faker not giving you them and them taking peoples money so i would advise you NOT TO BUY A MOTHERBOARD OFF EBAY. i would not take any chances off ebay if i was you might be cons
i suoppose the type of place that i think wold sell one of these might be pc world they seem to have lots of computers and pc and laptops so they might have one of those motherboards that you are after

I have had at least 6 probably more motherboards from various ebay sellers, and never have any of them failed, if you take note of the sellers feedback then there is a good chance you will get a bargain, i always have, no ebay seller wants negative feedback, for me its the option ok you may get faulty goods but i have had faulty goods from quite a few places, some of the sellers have better returns policies than the high street, take a look watch the feedback and number of transactions and youre on a winner imho. cya. gl.
