I actually put something ahead of "Which Brand" of motherboard I
buy.
I look at what chipset the motherboard uses. As many reading this will
know , more often than not the motherboard manufacturer does not use a
chipset they have either designed and or made themselves but rather it
is sourced from companies such as Intel, NVIDIA, VIA and and several
others.
Intel are one company that do make their own chipset and motherboard.
If I was building an Intel system I would go with an Intel chipset . I
would not pay twice the price for an MSI board if there is a Gigabyte
board that uses the same Intel chipset and has similar features.
I currently have several AMD 64’s and gotta say that the motherboards
with VIA chipsets have a fair way to go. I really don’t know first
hand about the latest NVIDIA chipsets for AMD but have a feeling I
will be going that way with the next AMD 64 I build for myself.
For me after you decide which chipset you want then it’s time to weigh
up what companies are offering. (I am biased towards Asus)
