need a new motherboard, I have been reading all threads and am completly confused!!!
ok guys I need help here I have been reading and reading and reading and am getting nowhere fast.
here is what I am doing
this is a higher end Home Theater PC.
I have a 840EE CPU laying around that I am going to use in it. I want to be able to upgrade to Conroe if I ever get the urge.
I have a 7800GTX to drop in it and will most likly NEVER go SLI with it but I will be getting a DX 10 card eventually.
I will be running a SATA2 3.0gb 400gig drive in it
I will be doing NO over clocking on this.
I will be running VISTA on this (eventually)
I am looking for a budget board, but I have always prefered ASUS, but I am open to reccomendations.
I am looking for a board with either good sound, or NO sound (I will get a card if need be) I will be connecting it to a Receiver via TOS link digital cable.
can I PLEASE get some reccomendations on board and RAM 2x1gig I dont' want to spend more than $150 on the board. and I would like to keep the ram at under 200 if possible.
help a brother out guys.
