Gaming Performance
The maturity of the i850 chipset shows especially well under Quake III where we see a mere 5% performance difference from top to bottom. The ECS P4ITA manages to edge out the competition, while the DFI WT70-EC and the Supermicro P4STA drop to the bottom of the list.

This was the board in my first pc. As a student it was a very basic setup but got me through uni. I spent money on it and pushed the processor as far as it could go. I had upgraded the memory but it was beyond my financial means to do anything great at the time. Tomorrow I pull it out of the loft and see what I can buy to make this the ultimate gaming machine of its time. Any suggestions on pci cards to amke this an amazing addtion to my home network would be appreciated.infinitebritt - Thursday, March 25, 2021 - link
Amazing to see a comment about the D850GB in 2021. I use this motherboard TODAY for work. My work machine has not been plugged into the net since 2006. I have not installed or changed anything. It should run FOREVER. I made some money with crypto this year so I'm looking to spend $100-$200 to replace the ATX case with something smaller and quieter. The case I've been using for 15+ years is HUGE and LOUD
