ok so 915 or 945 motherboards will work it seams? now there are 2 major questions. firstly are the mother boards still available in the market and are they still actively supported? by actively I mean if some chipset is giving problem how fast is the service?
Generally a week or two if you directly give it to the Gigabyte SC. Intel takes almost a month. Nowadays they respond very slowly to the emails. The problems I have rarely got in Gig 915 are no power on trigger to the SMPS. That too on a pc that kept going off a few times due to power cuts/trips. Always use an earthed power point or your mobo will get spoiled.
secondly, I am interested in p4 3 ghz processors. I herd that there are only pinless processores available now a days? is that true?
Upto 845 it was a pin processor. Then from 915, 101, 102ggc it was pinless and with SATA support. 945 and 102 ggc have DDR2 RAM.
and I will be installing on a sata hdd. so given all this if I choose gigabyte will it be a good choice?
Ask your supplier about the Gigabyte board. SATA support is no problem for the new distros. No idea about 945 chipset.
