OK, so, hypothetical issue here. Say there WAS an online motherboard database, what would you like to be able to search on?
Processor
Processor Package (i.e. Slot 1/Socket 370/etc.)
Multiprocessor?
Chipset
Form Factor
Memory Type
# of memory slots
Max memory
Manufacturer
LAN
ATA level (66/100/133/SATA)
IDE RAID
Audio
Audio provider (i.e. chip)
Graphics
USB level (1/2)
FireWire
ATX12V connector
# of 3 pin fan headers
# of PCI slots (could break down to PCI/33 and PCI/66)
AGP Slot
AGP level (2/4/8)
Advanced CPU functions (on-die temp monitoring, high temp shutdown/throttling)
Onboard SCSI
And the ever-popular "miscellaneous" which would probably be data stored in a structure in the database
So, If some were to build such a database, is this the sort of info you would like to see? What stuff have I missed here? I would really like some input here..
Thanks
Pete
