ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!
all my pc parts arrived today. i am building a matx system, with the aspire x-qpack. Somehow, instead of ordering the asus a8ne-fm, i ordered the asus a8n-e, and it's atx not matx AARRRGGGHHH!!!!!! Now, i have to email to see if they will restock an open box item, and i have to buy another motherboard!!
this is where i'd like some reccomendations. Many matx's aren't too hot for gaming, and i've done a lot of reading on them.
boards i've seen and decided against
MSI Radeon Xpress 200 939
any jetway board
asus a8ne-fm (curse you!!!) :throw:
Gigabyte GA-K8NMF-9 i like this one except that the nforce4 chipset is media center optimized, and wouldn't be so hot for gaming.
If anyone knows of a good board, your suggestion is welcome.
things i want: dual channel ram (doesn't HAVE to be 4gigs but it would be nice)
2 sata-i will only use 1 sata drive, but support for more is ok
pci express is a must :)
and my cpu(already have it) is an AMD 64 3500 939, so i need a 939 board
prefer a 1000mhz fsb(translates to 2000)
that's about it thanks!
