Unlike our last guide, prices for a good deal of Slot-1/Socket-370/Socket-423 motherboards have come down though most are not that significant. Like weeks past, prices for i815E motherboards have remained somewhat stable with prices fluctuating slightly. The VIA Apollo Pro 133A-based boards have yet again remained the same for the most part with the only change being with one of our recommend board from that bunch, the ASUS CUV4X, dropping $6 making it an eye-catcher if you're looking for a budget solution that won't disappoint.

Prices for i850 have come down including our recommended board, the ASUS P4T, which exemplifies ASUS's commitment to quality motherboards which pack stability, overclockability, and sound design into once nice package. As with i850 boards, VIA Pro266-based motherboards have fallen in price which is no surprise as the push is for higher-bandwidth solutions.
