Not much has changed with i815-based motherboards as prices have remained almost nearly the same as last week with a few drops and a slight price hike with the MSI 815E Pro. We still continue to recommend the ASUS CUSL2 board due to excellent design, stability, and overclocking features which are above par as far as i815E motherboards are concerned. The Transcend TS-ASL3 is a good buy if you're in the market for a no frills i815E board for a sound price.
We've added two more i815EP motherboards to our list for this week, the Gigabyte
GA-6OXE and the MSI 815EP PRO-R. Because Intel is beginning to decrease the
supply of i815E chipsets, we will more than likely see more and more i815EP-based
motherboards enter the market driving the prices lower and lower. Our recommendation
for an i815EP board is still the ASUS CUSL2-C which is very similar to the
solid CUSL2.
New to our motherboard bunch are VIA Apollo Pro 133A-based motherboards which
are well priced in comparison to i815E motherboards. Since Slot-1 Pentium
and Celerons are becoming more and more scarce we recommend the Socket-370
ASUS CUV4X which closely follows the design of the ASUS P3V4X, winner of AnandTech's
Gold Editor's Choice Award. The CUV4X, which performs much like its P3V4X
cousin, excels in every area since it exemplifies ASUS's tradition of solid,
high performance motherboards. We also recommend the Soyo SY-7VCA, winner
of AnandTech's Silver Editor's Choice Award, which has quite a few overclocking
and tweaking features and reigns in slightly below the CUV4X in price. Our
choice for a dual processor motherboard is the Microstar 694D Pro as it has
been the most stable dual-CPU Apollo Pro 133A solution
to enter our labs thus far which comes with quite a few features.
Prices amongst i850 motherboards have fallen since our last guide with the most noticeable drops with the ASUS P4T and Gigabyte GA-8TX.
