Mobo Recommendation
I need an AM2 mobo recommendation.
I'm a PC tech, I don't need SLI (I'm not a gamer), but I overclock, need only one PATA header,I'd like 6 SATA headers, the latest NVIDIA chipset and the onboard sound is fine. I'm thinking about either the 6000, 6400 or the Quad and 2 GB Corsair on 32bit Vista Business. I checked NewEgg, TigerDirect and done some other research, but I'm still a little confused. I was thinking of Intel, but for the midrange stuff that I do I haven't seen any performance gain. Any help would be appreciated. john |

Maybe, maybe not. As I said and after doing some more research for my
needs, I'd rather save a few bucks and go with AMD. For midrange, a X2 6000 or 6400 is comparable to a E67xx or E68xx. When Intel puts the memory controller on the die I'll think about switching. I know it's minor, but I don't like Intel's quad pumped FSB. Right now, the biggest hindrance to PC speed is Vista and I'm hoping, as I've read, SP1 will address this. What I would definiltely stay away from is AMD,s new ATI platform. wrote in message ... On Fri, 23 Nov 2007 01:27:28 GMT, "name" wrote: I need an AM2 mobo recommendation.
