Yep, well, after buying the Abit IC7-G on the advice of someone and having that fall flat on its a**e, I'm going to send the faulty motherboard back to Ebuyer and get a refund. (Hopefully.)
But now that leaves me with around £100 - 120 at the moment, and a big hole in my case for a motherboard.
Now, thinking about it, a Gigabyte 8IK-1100 - my original motherboard - seems like a pretty decent idea, never had any trouble with it until it got fried.
But are there any other P4 3.2Ghz compatible motherboards I should look at?
Main features I need:
At least 4 RAM slots - have 2 different PC types, so...
AGP 8X - Radeon 9600XT
S-ATA - Well, I want it to last a while, and I'll probably be getting either a pair of Raptors or a big 200-300GB HDD with S-ATA.
Firewire Support
Gigabyte Lan
Things I really don't need:
On board graphics / sound.
Hope that gives a good aproximation of what I want... Thanks.

Definately stick to the ABIT - you were just unlucky, when your replacement arrives you will see that thing fly...
Honestly.

Get a working IC7. In fact, even a broken Abit is better than most other motherboards.
