Best Value Motherboard for E6600
I have been upgrading my PC and collecting parts to build a better
system for my son. So far I got my older E6600 and will get some 2 x 1Gb DDR2 PC2-6400 ram. What would be a good board for a system. Nothing fancy as it's not for overclocking or SLI. P5QL\EPU? P5P43TD-Pro? Thoughts? Thx J -- Jethro[AGHL] aka Phat_Jethro Reply Email: jethro86 (at) gmail (dot) com |

Try an ECS G31T-M. A very good low end basic motherboard. I think it's
been discontinued (replaced by a later board, actually) but you can probably still find them. Under $50 brand new. These are decent boards with Intel chipsets.

I was looking for something in an Asus board and I don't want to go to
cheap. Also I will not buy a ECS board after a few bad experiences with them. They hit my "Never buy again" list. :-\ Barry Watzman wrote: Try an ECS G31T-M. A very good low end basic motherboard.

A nice feature is being able to support up to 16 GB of memory. It is a little hard to get 1066 Mhz memory working but 2GB Crucial memory works fine at the rated speed and Auto settings. It worked fine with G.Skill 1GB memory with Auto settings at 1066 MHz but wouldn't work with 2GB memory from the same company with Auto settings. |
