For my next PC that I'm building, I wanna get a mobo that has the following stuff on it at least...
-AMD Athlon 64 X2 support (socket AM2) OR Intel C2Duo support (socket?)
-800Mhz FSB would be nice
-support up to 4gb of ram (8gb would be nice)
-3 PCI slots
-minimum 1 PCI-express x16 slot
-minimum 1 PCI express x1 slot
-support for 4 SATA-II devices
-support for 4 IDE devices (2 at the very least)
-2 or more usb 2.0 ports
-1 or more firewire ports hopefully
-integrated LAN 10/100
-must not have any Via chipset
-doesn't need integrated audio or video
-the usuals of course... kb/mouse/serial ports
-full-tower would be OK, but prefer mid-tower or smaller size
-I'm going to be adding a couple extra fan-less cooling methods to keep it cool & quiet.. so whatever that might require.
I'm guessingna decent 500W power supply would be needed for such a beast.
I've seen boards on newegg.com but many don't quite cut it. That's why I'm askin for your help!... much appreciated!
I'll prolly ask about compatible CPUs later on... lol |

I'm using the Asus A8n-SLI Deluxe...heres the premium version which is basically the same thing...and I'm using an Athlon 64 FX 55 CPU. I built it over a year ago when the 7800GTX came out, along with 2 Western Digital 10,000 rpm Raptor drives in Raid 0 array and its been one hell of a stable, fast system.

You can't go wrong with this mobo. The DFI Lanparty is another great choice. I don't know what your budget is but if your looking to build a nice machine, thats a good place to start. |

Check out the intel original board or chipset boards. Intel chipsets are used by many other companies manufacturing mother boards
The G965 chipset will be good for you
I use the following original intel board

You can check other options too from the intel site and order accordungly from any other store |
