2 motherboard choices...help
i have narrowed it down to two motherboard bundles for my first build, but im having trouble deciding. One is a Intel D945PSNLK Intel Socket 775 ATX Motherboard which comes with an Intel Pentium 4 524 3.06GHz Processor. The other one is an Intel D945PSNLK Intel Socket 775 ATX Motherboard with an Intel Pentium 4 506 2.66 GHz Processor & a 512MB DDR2 PC4200 Memory.
So one comes with memory, with a slightly lesser processor, and the other is a tiny bit more expensive and has a slightly better processor....im short on money, only have about 270 bucks left.....can someone help me decide? what would you choose? links to each below..... choice one choice two thanks alot |

First off, always check an eTailer out at www.resellerratings.com before making a purchase. I think you'll be very disappointed with TigerDirect. Check out www.newegg.com!
So, does your $270 budget include memory or just mobo and CPU? Intel mobos are solid as a rock stable but very little OCing capability, if any. |

If you're limited by your budget, get the package that includes the RAM. |

You can get that Motherboard-a Intel 3.0 CPU (800Mhz FSB w/HT-2x256MB DDR2 533 Corsair RAM for a total of about $262 including shipping from Newegg.
