need advice for an intel rig with prometia

[m1ke101]

I'm helping a friend build a pretty high end system, and he wants an intel. I'm a big AMD guy and I haven't really dealt with intel in a while, and I just wanted to know what is considered the best chipset for the p4 right now. I'm planning to put a 2.8 or a 3.0 cpu in it, and probably a gig of pc3700. Anyone have a recommendation of a chipset or a specific motherboard? For the system, I'm thinking

3.0 800fsb
some kind of motherboard
2 x 512mb twinmos pc3700
160gb 8mb hd
radeon 9800 pro
audigy 2 platinum
logitech z-680's??
and maybe throw in a prometia for cooling (is this thing hard to set up? I've built a lot of computers before never anything this extreme for cooling) anyone know where to get one in the US?

i would be willing to say the canterwood is the best chipset. the mis Neo is a good board same with the abit ic-7. try frozencpu.com for the prommie.

Welcome to the Xtreme Forums m1ke101 !! glad to see you here :)

I suggest the Abit IC7 or the Asus P4C800 both are good boards, I think the Asus is sorta king of the hill right now.

go with the 2.4c, they all hit around the same speeds, but the 2.4 will have a much higher fsb
