Hi,

I want to buy a new motherboard but need a little help as I'm not very good on mobo's!

What I would like the motherboard to have is:

Core 2 duo compat
DDR2 RAM slots
AGP x8
PCie(not very good on the x part of it lol)
2 x The standard harddrive connection(i think its IDE?!?)
Quite a few standard PCI slots

Are there any motherboards out there that are good (asus/gigabit) but not massively expensive!

Hope that's enough info :)
 
Hi,

Thanks for the reply. That's the second time I've been pointed to that board :D

The trouble is I've had an Asrock board before and it caused nothing but trouble . Is this the case with all Asrock boards?

Also yes i do own a Gibson (a Gibson Nighthawk Custom along with 5 other electrics (mainly Fenders lol)) Do you play then?

Cheers for your help!
 
I think it's the only or one of the only boards out there that has what you've asked for.

I have an ASRock board at the moment and it's fine.

Damn you! :P I've got a very nice LP copy, Yamaha Pacifica Strat and a Yamaha acoustic :D

Hi,

Thanks again for the replies! I guess I'll have to go with the ASRock one!. Another question whats the best core 2 duo CPU to go on this board but again not massively expensive lol! (I know they will be more that the £40 mobo lol )

Can you play well?

Thanks:D
 
Yeh, if you wait 4 days (April 22nd) intel are lowering all of the core2duo prices, so hold off on that for a few days. I would siggest either the e6300 or the e6400 depending on its price when they drop

Thanks for that Dragon(Fortunatly I haven't quite got the funds together until next weeks so that will work out well!)

Yeah Kornowski i couldn't view the Led Zeppelin one(i hope it was Zeppelin lol) were you playing on the terminal velocity one? If so it was good :)

I've been playing about 5 years(ish) now i would give you an example but I have none on the internet at the moment(I'm actually working on some stuff now!) I shall tell you my styles i like though. I love Classic Rock/ I'm into some of the shred guitarists like Via and john 5 but i also love country rock type stuff like albert lee and brent mason. So i love a range of music lol!

Thanks again for all your help :)

Yeah, It'll work out great for you, the ASRock board has a lot of features and would be good if you want to upgrade gradually...

Yeah, of course it was Led Zep, what else! :D
Yeah, Thats my band, it was also aaages ago, lol. Thanks :)

Cool, thats a long time! Classic rock is by far my favourite type of music, you just can't go wrong!
 
Yeah the motherboard does seem good and im right in saying it supports quad core aswell? lol

I love the classic rock riffs. I'm addicted to Riffs lol

Thanks again
 
Good to see a couple of musicians in the forum, esp who love classic rock etc. I've been playing the guitar for 13 years and the bass for 2 years. I have an Epiphone Les Paul, Epiphone Flying V, Ibanez Electro-Acoustic, Ashton (crap) 12 string, Washburn Mandolin and my beautiful oiled mahogany Ibanez SoundGear SR500 bass. Have you guys played a bass? It really helps out with guitar playing as your fingers get a lot stronger and you understand more about harmony, scales etc.
 
Hey!

Yeah I've and can lol play bass. It helps alot with finger strength etc but I'll always stick with guitar :D I can also play a bit of keyboards aswell.

How do you find the flying V's. I can never play um lol?
