I want to replace my motherboard to be compatible with much better graphic card?

What are the available motherboards for Pentium4 2.66 model 2003 with PCIE Ports? I want the cheapest but high-quality.

Thank You.

No such thing exists. PCI-Express came out long after the P4 was obsolete. If you're going to go through all the trouble of replacing the motherboard, you might as well upgrade the CPU. Even a cheap, low-end $50 CPU will likely perform on par with that P4. If you spend $100 or more for a CPU, it'll be a significant upgrade.

Maximus IV GENE-Z Review – The Best Z68 ROG Motherboard With Lower Price

If you're one of those hard core gamers and looking for the best Z68 motherboard with lower price alternative for your computer rig, you're on the right place. The Maximus IV Gene-Z is the perfect answer to your needs. This board belongs to the ruthless ROG family; made for those enthusiasts who always hungry for speed.

Even though it comes in a small micro ATX form factor, you can be sure of it, because it will definitely deliver to goodness in you. The Maximus IV Gene-Z is a high end entry line motherboard from ASUS, we're expecting that it will be full of overclocking headroom.    

The Looks

The Maximus IV Gene-Z has a traditional looks of a ROG motherboard, with a combination of red and black so that they can be easily distinguish the difference of a high end board. The ROG logo can be seen on the top of Z68 chipset heatsink. Those heatsinks are in great shape, well design to withstand heat during overclock, this is what the board is design for.  

This board comes in a micro ATX form factor with 9.6in x 9.6in dimensions, a compact size that doesn't consume much of your space. Despite of its cute size, it has a good PCB layout. The two PCI-E x16 slot are well spaced for proper air ventilation when using two GPU's. All 4 DIMM's are also in black and red color combinations which I think a bit crowded when you installed a longer GPU's, as it will touch the edge of the slot.

All SATA port is in right angle position for easy access, 2 SATA 6GB/s in red and 4 SATA 3GB/s in black. The ATX power connector is located on the edge of the board for neat wirings that doesn't cause any distractions.

At the back I/O port, a single PS/2 mouse/KB port is provided. 8x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.0 are available to make sure you'll never run out of ports. CMOS clear is also located on the back I/O panel for your convenient without the need for opening the case. 1x LAN port, 8x audio port, 2x eSATA and an optical S/PDIF output are also available. The thing that I like the most here is the availability of the HDMI port; this is perfect if you want to connect it to your HDTV.

Features

The Maximus IVGene-Z is packed with the best features that you ever wanted in a gaming rig. This board is built with the Z68 chipset so that you can take the advantage of its overclocking capabilities using the unlock version of Sandy Bridge processor, at the same time the QuickSync features of the Sandy Bridge processors, this is perfect for Transcoding applications.

The latest technology with the Z68 chipset that features in this board is the ability to combine the iGPU and the discrete GPU's using the LucidLogix Virtu. In this case, you can take the full advantage of the QuickSync for faster video conversion. Another great thing here is that, it can automatically switches from heavy 3D games usage to a simple office applications while putting your discrete GPU into idle. This can save you power at the same time you don't need an additional hardware.     

Some of the best features of this motherboard can offer are the EFI BIOS that replaces the traditional keyboard controlled to make it easier to navigate using a graphical user interface. It provides an 8 CPU power design, 2 phase in memory power design and 4 phase in iGPU. This feature provides power efficiency to the CPU and memory that maximized its usage with minimal power loss.

The best thing about this board is the support for both SLI and CrossfireX that allow us to have freedom to choose our own multi GPU. The HDMI port is also provided for your HTPC applications, back up with the SupremeFX X-Fi 2 HD Audio, a great advantage over the Maximus IV Extreme version.

Some of the best ROG extreme features are the CPU-Z, ROG Connect, GPU.DIMM Post and the ROG CPU Level Up. The CPU-Z is a customized version only for ROG that reports your CPU related information. The ROG Connect lets you monitor and tweak your voltage and frequency in real time using your notebook. The GPU.DIMM post can easily check your memory and graphics card status in BIOS whenever a component failure arises. The ROG CPU Level Up is an instant OC, by simply choosing your processor you want to overclock and the board will do the rest.

This also includes The ROG bundle software's; a 3DmarkVantage is a standard PC gaming benchmark design for Windows Vista and DirectX10. A Kaspersky antivirus is also provided to keep you safe from any malicious software programs.

Testing the Maximus IVGene-Z

The ASUS Maximus IVGene-Z was tested using the Core i5-2500K processor, 8GB memory, GTX570 GPU using windows 7 64-bit. By changing some few BIOS settings 4.6GHz is easily achieved. A quick jump of 1.3GHz is added with the stock clock speed of 3.3GHz using the 2500K. With new UEFI EZ BIOS, overclocking with Maximus IV Gene-Z can get with minimal effort. Enthusiast will surely love this, even the novice will do.

To push it even further, 4.9GHz is achievable but not quite stable, I think a bigger cooling system will require for this. We decided to settle down for 4.8GHz to get a stable speed. With this clock, we gained a healthy 1.5GHz on top of the 2500K 3.3GHz processor. Using the bundled software exclusive for ROG CPU-Z, you can easily check these speeds.

These gains in speed really add in its performance considerably in various applications, especially in games, for sure hard core gamers will be joyful for it. Although we don't achieve the 5GHz speed limit, I think using the 2600K and a high end water cooling system will do. The main attraction here is, how easily can be done the overclocking with the Gene-Z, this will make everyone happy to have it.
