Hi All,
I really haven't kept up to date for a few years. I have a 6 core 2.6 gig ( X6 1035T ) I had for a couple years or more I would say, It's a retail cpu.
I would like to put a system together and am wondering which motherboards are the best .
I'm undecided if I want a atx or a Micro atx.
Opinions from the pros on both boards are appreciated.
Thanks for your help!!
eddie
have a nice day!

really depends on the features your looking for.. as long as the mb is compatible to use the cpu and support the 95w...also i would go with a micro atx to save space but thats me

Budget? Overclock or not? Single or multiple GPUs (and if multiple, do you need Nvidia SLI or AMD Crossfire?)?

One tip is to make sure you get a "future-proof" board that will allow you to swap in an FX series chip down the road.

Goes without saying the OP is most likely going to get an AM3+ board (so the FX swap-ability is kind of a given).
