No matter what happens with the advances of computer technology involved, there is always one problem that plagues the do-it-yourself (DIY) system builder: choice since with (the power builder) are usually building to take advantage of wider choice, it’s ironic that also our main problem that we ha have to deal with is: what CPU are we going to use? This dictates the next question: what motherboard are we going to mount the CPU and all of the other component to? Here some tips from an old pro at motherboard selection:
1.What will you do with this system?
If you number one priority is gaming, then If you number one priority is gaming, then you are probably looking at the fastest processor, newest chipsets and support for the hottest audio/video output available. If you are going to build a professional CAD or A/V workstation, then you’ll also consider the best processor. But stability, expandability ( slot, port and other add-ons) and capacity (both RAM and hard disk space) are of prime concern. If a server is your current project, there is one holy grace grail for you: stability. Speed, expandability, and capacity are all secondary when the rest of the networking is waiting on a dead server. No matter which this applies to you, be honest with yourself. It maybe great to dream about the hottest CPU and enough disk space to swallow the library congress, but do you really need it? If it helps, don’t be afraid to make a list of your selection criteria ranked in order of importance for use while you’re shopping. This can be pretty heady stuff and it always good to have something to remind you where you’re aiming at.
2.Read and Research.
Read everything relevant to motherboards you can get on your hands. Check the review sites, magazines, and chat rooms. Listen to what expert have to say, but don’t forget to listen to what they’re not saying. Do they give the reasons that the have for the opinions, especially in reviews? Do the reveal their methodology and their biases?
3.How much do you have to spend?
Balancing your budget is crucial. The components that make up a system’s backbone are the most important (assuming you want to actually use it!). Let’s face it, there is no point in spending $800 on a chip if your total system budget is $1000. Bottom line: buy a decent motherboard with a good chipset or you will wind up with an unstable piece of very expensive junk.
