Hey guys,
I am currently building a new computer, and which motherboard to opt for really has me stumped. Here are the factors affecting my decision:
-Have decided on an Athlon 64 3200+ Newcastle CPU.
-Have no intention to overclock, so am looking for a mobo that offers good stock performance.
-New rig will be used primarily for gaming, music, and movies.
-Prefer a VIA chipset, although am unsure whether i should go for mobos with the newer k8t800 pro chipset, or the older but more mature mobos featuring the vanilla k8t800 chipset.
-Intend to put two WD 74gb Raptors in RAID 0
Any recommendations on some mobos that would be good for my purposes? As far as price goes... I'm willing to shell out for a quality product.
