Hello All
I am going to upgrade to a Core 2 CPU soon. I am not into games but would like a PCI express graphics card which supports the Vista Aero interface. I don't want SLI, crossfire etc, just the min graphics card for what I need. I have three IDE optical drives, but I might upgarde one to SATA if I need to.
My main requirements are then:-
NO SLI / CROSSFIRE
NO WIFI
Gigabit LAN - DUAL LAN WOULD BE GREAT, only 1 need be GIGABIT
5+ SATA ports
2 IDE ports (for 3 drives), 6+ SATA required if only 1 IDE port
DDR2 is fine
1 or 2 old style PCI slots would be good
OVERCLOCKING FACILITIES
Any recomendations? What is the cheapest board which has all this?
Thanks All
