Title: recommend me a board for WHS
Post by: RobTi on June 02, 2010, 03:35:42 pm

Hi all

I need to upgrade my board & cpu for WHS and would like some recommendations as to which board to go for.

Obviously i need 6+ sata ports( or more  :) ) as a start with onboard gpu.

Now as to ddr2 or ddr3 willing to take anything although would ddr2 not be cheaper.

mATX or ATX doesn't matter would be in a Antec P180 so enough room in there

So can you give me some boards to look at ?


Thanks

Robert

Hi,

Not sure of your budget but, if you can afford it how about this Mobo? http://www.giga-byte.co.uk/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=3420&ProductName=GA-890GPA-UD3H

Add to this an Athlon CPU and some DDR3 memory and off you go. (DDR3 Memory is actually cheaper than DDR2 at the moment!)

Hope this helps
