If you're thinking of investing in a Pentium4 processor right now, the best path to take would be to considering buying a Northwood B, one that natively runs at 133FSB. Now, quite a few motherboards have the ability to run at 133FSB without undue difficulty, but only a few are officially ratified to do so, the MSI 645E Max-LRU being one of them. If you want a feature-laden, stable, fast and relatively inexpensive motherboard to complement your Pentium4, the MSI should really make it on to your shortlist.
