Hi,

finally i will buy a new desktop but after searching for some information, i still have doubts about what to buy.
I'm thinking on buying a intel E6600 or the intel E6420.
The difference is about 25€ (the E6420 is the cheapest).

The computer will be for some games, working (on matlab 7, fortran95, arcgis 9.2,...), internet, music and so on.

I would prefer a motherboard with wi-fi, but don't let this issue to eliminate others motherboards. This is only a extra. If it as, good, if not, no problem.

My budget for the all desktop (not including monitor and keyboard and mouse) is for 1000€.

So, i believe that for the motherboard and processor, the budget will be near to 500€ (more or less).

So, what are the best choices for the motherboards for those two processors? If you believe that this processors are not the most correct, please advise another.

Thanks for the help.
