I am trying to put together a real basic workstation, and am just wondering what mobo's people have seen round and in action, or those that other tech's have had nightmares with
we have been using the Iwill mP4S mobo's in the past (i845, SDRAM) after all the issues (cold-start probs, win98 compatibility, and less-than-repectable performance in winxp), we have opted to not try out Iwill's new offering of the Iwill-mP4G (i845G, DDR)
Currently I have come up with this list of options:
Asus P4B533-VM
MSI MS-6507E
Epox EP-4G4M+
Epox EP-4GLM+
Giga-byte GA-8IEMK
At the moment the Asus board is sounding good, anyone had any troubles with it?
if there are any other options I would also like to know, but the main preferences are DDR ram and an intel chipset.
Other important additions are on-board video, lan, sound etc etc.
If you can also suggest a case to suit mATX boards please see this thread
