Hello,

I am seeing what motherboard to buy

I know that for a mother board you have to know:
What memory to support
What cpu sockets
How many ide or sata's
What kind and how many slots (pcie,pci)

But apart from those what else should I be looking for in a motherboard
How do i know which ones are faster and more reliable?
And how can i find out which ones are more overclockable if needed?

Anyone know of a good guide to buying motherboards website?

you want in this order: 790i, 780i, X48, 750i, X38, P35

X48 & 790i are the most over clock able

search for reviews of motherboards, and take ones which are good (don't go for anything below P35 now though - but P35 is not bad AT all)
