I'd say the Asus P4B, but it's only got 3 DIMM slots last I checked.

I like Asus.

That Epox mobo and a P4 2.2 will do you good. At least as good as PC-133 allows it to get.

Agreed. You really ought to save up some more and get some RDRAM or DDR and a motherboard to go with it. You're gonna be seriously castrating the performance of the P4.

Thanks guys for all the advice I ended up getting a Gigabyte GA-8IRXP with P4 1.7 and 512MB DDR RAM for £300 in a deal, plus a friend is buying the old Motherboard and CPU and RAM from me
