[abuaniljohn]

Im planing to buy new mobo...saw these 2 in almost same price range.I would love to know which among them is better,what does S2 and WW stands for?
Procesesor i bought is pentiumg4560
Edit:bios of mobo are updated to support 7th gen

It is still possible, to have an H110 board that won't boot with a G4560 CPU. They required a BIOS update to be compatible. Depending on how long your specific motherboard has been sitting in a warehouse, you could get one that won't boot. You would need a compatible CPU to do a BIOS upgrade then you could use your G4560 CPU... It is a small risk, but non-zero.

The WW version has serial and parallel ports in the I/O section. It looks like that motherboard is intended for the commercial terminal market where legacy connectivity is important. The WW version also has a PCI slot. Again legacy compatibility. The S2 version has none of these things.

So with updated bios both are same based on perfomance when its used for non commercial purpose???

I don't believe there is any performance differences. With a G4560, a B250 motherboard is the safer choice. It will have BIOS support guaranteed.

Pick as the solution"

Will the option for extra pci slot is an advantage for later?? Noob here sorry

The legacy PCI slot is not useful unless you have a old PCI card. The other board has a PCIe x1 slot instead. It is more likely you would use that than a PCI slot. Unless you are using old hardware, there is no advantage to the WW version that I can see.

That explains a lot...thankyou very much for helping out
