Hi,
Am looking to get a 754 board for non-gaming system.

Using it for a bit of vid and photo editing.

Need to have firewire, and preferably SATA as well.

MUST be a nice friendly stable mobo, and not a nervous twitchy racehorse :shocked:



Thanx in advance
 
just go to newegg or another well stocked site site that lets you choose all mbs of a certain socket type & then a search w/in results on 1394. Voila, your list.
 
Onboard firewire usually uses the fairly slow VIA chipset. You are probably better off selecting a good board without FW, and buying a separate add-in card that uses a better chip (like the NEC or Agere/Lucent).

Fair comment .

Thank you.
 
I would like to promote Gigabyte.
I have a K8NS Pro and it has been good to me. Not twitchy if you dont try to overclock.
It could be considered an enthusiast board, which you may not want. But I always go with a good MB and then skimp on CPU if I want to save money. It keeps my heartburn down later on.
Get a Sempron or cheap A64 if you like.
