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
