Whilst searching the internet for motherboard related material i ran into an interesting guide about how to buy the right motherboard. I found this site quite good as it was easy to understand and had good helpful information, without biast advertisement.
http://www.build-your-own-computers.com/how-to-choose-a-motherboard.htmlIt includes things you need know, as to before you buy your motherboard i.e:
What is your
processor?
Expansion slots and connectors: This little paragraph gives the advice of "If you do a lot of video capturing and editing, you'll also want to have a Firewire"
Do you need to
overclock? (To increase hardware performance)
It also includes information on
other features such as: on-board Ethernet, audio, a RAID controller. Stating that most motherboards now have these built onto them saving you money not to buy additional expansion cards.
In conclusion to this guide he states that he has always preferred ASUS motherboards. However he is not advertising it saying it is the
BEST ever =D.
