We are doing a pretty htpc, we have a c2d e4600, an hd 6570, and lots of ram to test around, what mobo do you recomend that is available on amazon (sold or shipped by amazon) or newegg
If you are making a HTPC then you will likely want a mini-ITX board or Micro ATX at the very least. Neither of these option are currently available in LGA 775. It may be time to consider new ram and CPU as well.
