I'm starting to research a new build and after a week or so of reading I have a question for people smarter then me and that's, "Why there's not much here about Intel MOBOs"?
I need 8 SATA drives and most MOBOs support 4 to 6 while Intel has a few boards that do.
My current system is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200/ASUS A8N-SLI Premium sitting inside an Antec P180. I've sworn off gaming for a few years as I become addicted easily but video editing is something that I do. I may not do it for a month or two but when It's time I'll chop and process dozens of hours of HD. Often I'll run batches that take 4 or 5 days to complete.
My current thoughts are getting a Q6600 and 8G of DDR2 RAM although I'm not done researching.
Why don't people talk about Intel MOBOs much? I know there are a few boards that offer 8 SATA ports on them but they're hard to find.
Thanks for listening.
