    As per my previous post I think I have a major problem with my motherboard. Can anyone recommend me a new motherboard and memory for the following:

    P4 3.06b
    DDR400 or highest spec ram
    Decent o/c spec
    Price range E100ish - Can pay more for a good board.

    Aiming to buy from Komplett or Jes or locally.

    Abit IC7 is a cool board. Should be around your price range too.

    Thanks for the advice guy's. What RAM would you recommend for that board? Would need to buy 1G I presume for Doom.

    I had a Lanparty Pro, I killed the Bios on it though but it seems some of them have a problem with the bios. ie, Mine installed an onboard modem and wiped the sound n the only way i could find of getting it back is to flash the bios which killed my board...

    I've an Asus P4C800 which runs the same 875chip as the Lanparty, not as flashy but its V fast(faster than a Lanparty) Have my 2.8 @ 3.65

    Try Adata ram... http://www.pc-memory-upgrade.co.uk/ free delivery too

    Go for OCZ enhanced bandwidth memory if you can afford it.

    I have OCZ Gold Edition, before they came out with EB, and it's one quality piece of kit! The warranty also covers voltages up to 2.85v, and it's a brilliant overclocker, in spite of the already high speed.

    Another great brand is Mushkin, if you can get your hands on their Level-2 memory (Winbond BH6 chips) that's the bees knees. I saw PC Memory Upgrade have a few left in stock.. Very pricey but hey, it's the best memory around :)
