Hi
I want to buy an ASRock B85M Pro motherboard. But I heard some comments about Intel Small Business Advantage security. Can Intel Small Business Advantage be a security issue, as I read in some articles? What is Intel Small Business Advantage? Can it be turned off? B85 chipset doesn't have Smart Response Technology. Is it important? What's your opinion about this motherboard?
Thanks

I want to assemble a gaming machine. I can pick up this motherboard at a very, very low price. But I read about Intel Small Business Advantage issues...so, i'm apprehensive.

trust me, you can ignore the intel SBA, it's just a program for B series chipset(B75 B85...), you can chose not to install this program and use it as a normal PC instead of a business PC :)

Ok, thanks chiang23
And how about Smart Response Technology? What is this? Do I need that to use a SSD?

I'm a little unsure, because I can choose between a MSI H81M-P33 for 15€ or an Asrock B85M-Pro4 for 45€. I don't intend to OC and I will use a MSI GTX 960 GAMING 2 GB. Which mob should I choose?
