Which Motherboard is Best For You?
There are quite a few popular brands such as:
There are many other brands, too. And these are not in any order of preference. To make a selection based on motherboard quality or performance is a technical issue. Moreover, the technology is very dynamic and it is best to read some of the technical reviews from testers who actually perform comparative lab tests. When it comes to determining which motherboard is best for me, I use the technical reviews and user reviews on the item. Technical reviews such as found at Tom's Hardware, TechTV, and PCStats help you make good decision on choosing components for your computer. Sometimes when I try to find a motherboard for a new PC, the technical reviews can be too time consuming to read and compare - especially when you want to make a quick decision. In that case I usually go mainly by customer reviews. You can see what's popular and what's really hot from customer reviews. Both the satisfied and the disgruntled customer will speak up. You will also find out where you can get the best online bargains and customer service as well. Personally, I like Asus and Gigabyte motherboards. My last system, which at the time of this writing is just a few months old, is built on a Gigabyte mobo. It carries an Athlon XP 2200+ processor. It's quite a well-featured dual BIOS system that can support RAID disk storage. These Gigabyte motherboards allow you to overclock your system harmlessly through the BIOS. You will find it a great experience to build a computer on Gigabyte technology.
