The Motherboard

The Motherboard(it's also called mainboard)

The second important thing to choose for your new PC is the mainboard. This is where you need to choose, the type of your PC is going to be. I like AMD processor like Duron Morgan and Athlon XP back in time when they beat the Intel processor. But now, the Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Quad Core works for me. When choosing a mainboard, decide which processor that you wanted to use. An Intel processor or AMD processor. They have different size of socket so you might don't wanna buy wrong mainboard for your processor.

Criteria for choosing a good Mainboard.

1. I recommend you to buy an ABIT(the best) or ASUS mainboard. These two mainboard manufacturer uses a high quality electronic components which make those mainboard fast, cooler and most stable mainboard compared to any other companies. And it is heavier :p

2. For office use i recommend you to get a built-in graphic mainboard and has basic features like built-in sound, ethernet and USB.
For gaming purposes, i recommend you to get a mainboard that have no built-in graphic card which has a PCI express slot for graphic card, an Intel Core 2 Duo mainboard and at least 2 DDR2 RAM slot for dual channel DDR2 RAM. For extreme gaming purpose, i recommend you to get an SLI mainboard(two same brand, same speed in other words clone of two graphic card were used in SLI graphic slot) 4 DDR2 RAM slot and an Intel Quad Core mainboard.

3. I personally recommend you to get an ABIT mainboard with an nForce chipset. Try it ^_^.


Conclusion for choosing mainboard

What features that I wanted to use for my new mainboard? That's the first good question you should have in your mind when choosing a mainboard. The mainboard is the second most important thing for your new PC hardware. The mainboard is the key of which type of your PC will be.
