Title: recommend me a board for WHS
Post by: RobTi on June 02, 2010, 03:36:58 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  Smiley ) 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

Would be helpful if you can mention what CPU you will be using mate :)

Don't know what cpu as this will go with the board, probably an i3 530 if an intel board, but decided on gigabyte of some sort.

Obviously the main consideration is your budget. If you can afford it I would go for DDR3 because at least you are building in a bit of futureproofing. If you look on the Gigabyte website you can choose a few boards and then compare them side by side.
