This is something that bothered me for quite some time. An expert once explained to me, however not in such detail, that an expensive motherboard is necessary for workstation oriented builds. Or even graphics design/rendering PC builds.
Is durability the key here? Can an expensive motherboard hold it out longer when a CPU or graphics/render card is constantly running at high speeds?
Would a workstation be weaker with, let's say, a H97 motherboard under 100 dollars? With this I typically mean a motherboard that is equipped with a 100-150 dollar-ish render card, Intel i7/Intel E3 Xeon CPU and (ECC) Memory 16GB.
