Hi,
Anybody install a recent motherboard that they are happy with?
I am due for an upgrade and there are too many choices.
Come on, man... You should know the drill.
Specify:
o budget
o needed features
o preferred features
budget - any
needed features - desktop configuration, at least 2 PCI express slots
- ATX form factor
preferred features - runs with Debian
ATX means you'll get lots of built-in features. I like my Gigabyte
GA-MA780G-UD3H mobo with AM2+/AM2 socket.
8GM RAM, 6 SATA, 1 (or 2, I forget) rear eSATA, lots of USB, a front
and rear Firewire and decent on-board audio. On-board ATI video with
separate video RAM, but I installed a fanless NVIDIA card because the
driver situation is *simple*, and it's fast.
Too bad it's a NewEgg outofstock item:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128382
Probably superseded by a newer model.
Do you need/want:
o on-board video?
o latest/greatest CPU?
o Intel or AMD?
o to buy new RAM?
