Help me choose a motherboard please :)

06-12-2007, 08:23 AM

Hi there this is my first build and I have got a core 2 duo E6600 and 8800 GT but I'm lost on what motherboard to get

I want to run XP and I do a lot of video editing if that matters.

I see people recommending to get a board with an intel chipset but i don't really know the difference.

How is this one? http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...&Sku=A455-2322

If you think I need anything else you would recommend like whats a good hard drive please post your recommendation.

Thanks for the help

Go with ASUS, and pretty much spend what you can. That one you are pointing to is a pretty good deal, especially if you are going to take advantage of the Nvidia features on the board.

Good luck with it

I would ask on tech site/forum like anandtech, infact the forum there has a sticky full of great mobos.

I've heard a lot complaints about tigerdirect, most people in Canada seem to like ncix.com.

If I were you I would wait until July 22, the Q6600 (quad core cpu) is suppose to drop half of the price it is now(Intel price cuts). A quad core cpu would be much better for encoding.

Btw the motherboard you posted has a nVidia chipset, you do know that right? Not that there's anything wrong with nVidia...

Here's a few with the latest Intel chipset...

cess, good point - getting a board that would be quad core compatible would be a good step if the need is now.

The Nvidia chipset actually has some pretty good reviews.

A board like this:

Would be compatible with the quad cores... a little more money now, but ease of compatibility for at least the near future.

nVidia chipsets are great but I believe the latest Intel chipsets are more up to date than nVidias. For example, the one you posted supports up to "800MHz DDR2" ram, the one I posted supports "1333MHz DDR3" and maybe even higher later on. It's also rumored on tech forums that the new bearlake P35 chipset will most likely support Intels new CPU coming out later this year or early next year.

But the Intel chipsets don't support SLI, so if you run games and want two nVidia cards then you need a nVidia chipset not Intel. Intel does support multiple ATI/AMD cards(crossfire) if you went with that brand video card instead of nVidia.

I would agree with you but he linked to a Canadian site. I've heard Canadians say newegg won't ship to Canada. But I would avoid tigerdirect and go some other place like the site I posted.

This brand war stuff is kind of ridiculous. I know there are some shitty brands out there but Asus, DFI, Gigabyte, and Abit are all good motherboard brands. It's better to look up reviews of the motherboard and/or go with the latest than to stick with one brand. Every now and then the best companies can make crappy motherboards, shit happens.

Thanks for the info guys I live right by a tiger direct thats why I posted that. I ordered the E6600 from directcanada.com out in vancouver but I've never ordered from ncix.com

Yes I know the board I posted is not intel...it just looked like a good deal..but I don't really know.

I have the E6600 right now so it would be nice to be able to the quad later if they are going to be cheaper...but right now I need a computer so I have to get a board for this e6600. Ok let me check out these links and see
