Intel Motherboard?

sorn21 · 24 Dec 2008 at 23:50

Hey guys,

I'm looking to build a new system for my family... Its not going to be the fastest thing in the world aslong as it does the basic duties word etc.

here is my spec so far;

Antec 900
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 PRO
Intel E5200
4GB Ram
250GB Hitachi
LG GH22NP20 22x DVDRW
(btw something's are salvageable from the old pc!)

as for the mobo,
I'm tempted by the Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe
having used asus boards in the past and known them to be reliable

however as this is a budget build this caught my eye;

Intel Desktop Board DG35EC

Thoughts, suggestions on an Intel Board?

thanks guys!

Maybe so but they in the same business as OcUK which makes them a competitor.

Abit IP43 if not going for onboard gfx

Or something else with but I dunno about them

Eva Cove is quite expensive and the onboard graphics is probably not the best for you, maybe look at something Nvidia chipset (I presume your using the onboard graphics as no VGA card is listed), perhaps something like this? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-144-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=326&name=Gigabyte%20GA-73PVM-S2%20NVIDIA%20GeForce%207100%20/%20nForce%20630i%20Chipset%20(Socket%20775)%20PCI-Express%20DDR2%20Motherboard

M3A32-MVP Deluxe

is that a AMD based one o_O I m fairly sure it is without looking, just by looking at *** model, becasue I had a simplier one with my old AMD X2 cpu
