Hi
Can anyone recommend a good Mobo for use on 64-bit Vista to run Microsoft Virtual PC virtual machines for studying purposes. Will run about 4-6 Virtual Machines at once.
Will buy
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX (2x2GB) (Possibly 8GB)
AMD Phenom X4 Quad Core 9150e 1.80GHz (Socket AM2+) - Retail
Main requirement is having enough SATA connectors for 5 HDD's, 1 is SATA2
If AM2+ won't fit the bill I will look at the Intel route, but trying to not spend too much money. Times is hard!!
I currently have the following.
AMD Opteron 165 Socket 939 1.8GHz Dual Core 2x1MB (running at stock but can run at 2712Mhz oc'd)
2 x 1GB Corsair XMS 3200 CL2
4 x Seagate ST3250823AS 250GB 7200RPM SATA/150 8MB Cache, RAID 5
SATA2 160GB HDD 10000RPM (Cant remember make)
Enermax Liberty 620W Modular ATX2.2 PSU
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe S939 NF4 SLI ATX
Big Typhoon CPU air cooler
1 x CD/RW
1 x DVD/RW
