well it really depends on ur budget. if u can afford more go with a board that has 4 memory slots instead of 2. and if u dont already have an agp card find one with pci-e slots.

For what he is doing he does not need 4 slots. I would go with a 939 socket insted of a T but other than that its good.

I have not finished mine yet but this is the one I have chosen.

Ok well are you going with intel or AMD for your processer? We need to know your ram you are going to get and your graphic card.

I would upgrade to at minimum Gigabyte and preferably an Asus, Abit or MSI.
Can't recommend any more specific without more info on existing and planned components.

Just know that micro ATX boards don't have a lot of room to upgrade.

Rick G · 09-21-2005, 09:41 PM

I would recommend staying away from the SIS chipset and go with intel or Via.

i'm not really gona upgrade(maybe in the future), plus i don't have a big buget. i heard that VIA chipsets don't support SATA drives?
