I need help finding a good motherboard. After reading a lot of reviews on Newegg and other websites, they are discouraging me from picking out the right mobo.
I want a mobo that will support SLI, Core2Duo, and will work the first time!!! So stability/reliability is a really important issue. I am also a LAN gamer so I need a mobo that will support full x16.
I was looking at the new 680i mobo's, they look nice but are way above my price range. My price range is $150-225. I am not sure what chipset to go for b/c after reading some reviews I guess the 975 was built for ATI cards? When do the ATI cards plan on putting out their DX-10 cards, and how will they work on the 975 chipset?
Any advice will be helpful considering the mobo is the base for all other hardware decisions.
