I am going to build a server for my HOME network and was wondering what is the best mobo for the job?
GIGABYTE GA-8INXP (SOCKET 478)
ORCode:SOCKET 478 CPU'S,
CHIPSETt: i7205,
(4) PC2100 DDR FOR UP TO 4GB RAM,
(1) AGP 8X,
(5) PCI, ATA-133,
ATA-100,
SERIAL-ATA,
REALTEK AC97AUDIO W/ DIGITAL OUT,
INTEL GIGABIT 10/100/1000 LAN CHIP, 6 USB 2.0
ASUS P4G8X-DX (SOCKET 478)
The mother boards are quite similar except that the GIGABYTE has on-board sound but doesnt have Hyper Threading (does this really help) (the ASUS is $1 more)Code:(P4G8X-DELUXE)(INTEL E7205) P4-478 533MHZ-HYPER THREADING TECHNOLOGY
GIGABIT ETHERNET
DUAL-CHANNEL DDR
8X AGP
IEEE 1394
6 USB 2.0
SERIAL-ATA (5PCI / 1AGP / 4 DDR / MAX 4.0GB)
i think im going to go with the GIGABYTE but want to be sure cuz they are almost $300 cdn
