More Information

Planning to build a Hornet Pro Workstation, specifically for Maya, Premier, After Effects. This machine will be a SFF so only takes u-ATX mobo's.

Which motherboard would you suggest for best reliablity and performance:

ASUS A8V-MX VIA K8M800/SATA3G/u-ATX 64 939

ASUS A8N-VM CSM GeForce 6150/SATA3G/u-ATX 64 939

Gigabyte GA-K8N51 GMF 9 NF4 (seen a few bad reviews, bad batch)

DFI RS 482 Infinity/SATA/u-ATX 64 939

EVGA 131-K8 NF44-AX NF4 w/SLI /SATA/u-ATX 64 939


The specs I'm looking at are:

AMD Opt 175 Dual Core 2.2
PS 400 W
4GB Dual Channel Platinum
Maxtor Diamond Max 10 250GB SATA3G
Quadro FX 4500 512MB (single not SLI anytime soon)

Thanks in advance for your help!

I would recommend an nF4 or nF4 ultra motherboard from a decent MFG like DFI, ASUS, Epox, etc.

Do not get an ATI chipset.
