Without talking about "the other one has extra slots".
I just want to learn. I somehow developed a strong interest for computers over the week.

You read articles and reviews online, on places like 'Tom's Hardware'. Eventually you will learn about compatibility, cpu types, failure rates, reputations, etc etc . Or if you cant be bothered with all that just buy the best asus motherboard you can afford and rely on the averages.
