Hi all. So now I've decided to just spend way too much
- but maybe buy my way out of problems.
I'm getting older and one of the most important things to me is that stuff just works. Don't wanna spend all weekend configuring Linux anymore when I can get XP. The my question is, if there are any of you who can guide me. Which mobo do I need to get the easiest install and most stable system.
My system will look like this:
P4 3,06 (w/Noise Control Cooler)
Radeon 9700 pro
Chieftec chassi w/ 340W PSU
1 gig dual DDR
2*Seegate Cheetah 36LP 36,7GB 10.000rpm HHD (RAID 0)
ASR-2100S Raid Controller Kit 128MB (160 MB/s)
One OS; XP Home
But I don't find any information on the motherboards
Asus, Gigabyte and Tyan makes E7205 boards but which one should I chose.
My priorities are simple; I want a super system WITH great stability.
If there are any comments about stablility or other problems please let me know. I will make my purchase before new year but I have made mistakes before - and I don't want to use my time on fixing.
Additional information (reused components):
Dell 10/100 WouL network card
Altech Lansing 995 Speakers
Turtle Beach sound card
Dell 19" LCD 1900FP
NO FLOPPY
Philips DVD RW208K
a two year old IBM CD-RW
Pls. give me some qualified motherboard advise so I can get on with it.
