I'm generally looking at probably getting a mATX board above anything else, mostly to use what precious little space I'll have inside (It's around 11"Tx18"wx9"deep)
I was taking a look at possibly getting an NForce board, as AMD's get so hot I'm not likely to look at overclocking as a real possibilty;
I'm primarily looking for something that will perform better than average performance and stability otherwise, though onboard components might help me cheat a little bit and not worry about securing down add-on cards to keep them from shifting inside the case...one reason I'm looking at NForce as a possibility.
Since I've primarily bought only Intel up to now, I I wasn't sure if this might do well, or if there might be other suitable choices as well.
Other wild possibility? That perhaps it might be a little too cramped a space for it, and keeping it cool would be something important to consider, perhaps meaning go back to intel instead?
Thanks for advice in advance-
