Recommend Mobo

Hi all,

I am new to HTPC's and bought one pre-configured on eBay. Here are the specs for reference:

- Intel Atom 330 'Dual Core'
- Gigabyte GA-GC330UD Motherboard
- 2GB DDR2 RAM
- 320GB WD SATA HD

I am trying to use applications such as Windows Media Center but am finding it very hard to use as it is very slugish when navigating through the menu.

I was wondering if you could recommend a motherboard that didn't use much power, is suitable for Windows 7 Media Centre and fits in to the dimensions of my current motherboard preferably under $250.

Thanks in advance.

This with a new Core i3 would be the best choice...but it's not quite available on the streets yet...should be on sale within a couple weeks though.

I know I'll be upgrading my HTPC to this setup...very powerful, small, quite system

You might also try a nice alternative to Media Center....oh, and it's free:
