hi all,

i need a recommendation for a stable, no frills mobo. just needs to support 8gb ram, and one of those quads. dont need raid, billion sata nor usb ports, etc. this machine will mainly run VMs and crunch numbers. stable and cool is the goal, maybe a slight bit of oc if the oc is free.

Thanks!
 
ok thanks. what are some popular IGP solutions? I've never looked at them before now honestly... I was leaning toward p45 if i needed to get a discrete card; I'll see what pops up under 50$ should I decide to go that route.
 
IGP solutions are not the strong point of Intel platforms. 4x2GB dimms seems to be spotty in many of these boards, which seem to be targeted towards HTPC where 4GB is probably pretty generous.
