So does anyone know of a useful resource which compares motherboards and allows you to filter down the selection quickly and easily? Esp by features?
So say I want:
AM2 socket FireWire onboard 4gb > RAM potential Gigabit Ethernet
= 3 PCI slots 1 PCIe x16 = 1 PCIe x1 or x4
I don't know of one specific site for comparing motherboards like that (and motherboard makers change their line-ups so often, it could be tough to keep such a site fresh). I usually figure out which chipset I want, first, and then narrow my search to motherboards with that chipset. If you're looking at regular ATX motherboards, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find one that *didn't* have onboard FireWire and Gigabit Ethernet. I suspect most motherboards these days will meet all your specs except for >= 3 PCI slots. The industry seems to be in a hurry to drop PCI slots. -- Rich
