Hi All,
I'm currently trying to assemble a "recording only" pc with some of the older hardware/software which I already have.
Here is some of the hardware I already have;
Gigabite HD6450 pci-e IGB3 -DR3 Graphic card
ENERMAX elt500AWT PSU 500w
Enermax 4U rack case
DDR 3 RAM 8GB
250GB SATA-2 HD (WD)
1x PCI sound (upgradable to pci-e 64bit with a pci-e to pci adapter card
1x PCI DSP card (upgardable to pci-e 64bit with a pci-e to pci adapter card
Software
Win7/64 Professional
Now my most important requirement is for a good Motherboard which while being current shuld be able to accept these rather old hardware! I've been offered an ASUS P67P Rev 3.0 which has the following slots with a max 32GB RAM capacity.
Expansion Slots
PCI Express 2.0 x16
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (single at x16)
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16* [Black] (max. at x4 mode)
The PCIEX16_2 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX1_1 slot, PCIEX1_2 slot and USB3_34 connector. The PCIEX16_2 runs at x1 mode by default for system resource optimization.
PCI Express 2
PCI Slots 3
So, what do you experts think of this MB? Would you recommend this MB over something else? Any alternative or better MBs still current, but NOT expensive, which you're are using or can recommend? Any/all suggestions & advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
