Have an Antec Mini P180. Was going to mod so it could fit full ATX board but not in the mood to mess around with it right now.


So now i need suggestion's on what MicroATX board is best. Below is a list that I am looking for performance wise.



-Intel Based
-Quad Core Compatible
-over-clockable.
-DDR2-1066mhz or better
-2x PCI-E 16x slots (hah... only dreaming)

--------------------OR------------------------

AMD platform with phenom support. I wouldnt mind building a phenom for the first time. But as long as it is cheap.

-spec's for the board can be the same with above /w the intel based.

thanks guys
 
Well, the P5E-VM HDMI mobo is the current top dog at the moment. DFI is getting ready to release their CF version this month though. (Rumors say 3rd week in August) Its possible it might knock the P5E-VM HDMI off the top spot. A SLI version is to follow sometime later. Havent heard when exactly but its been announced. So if you want OCing goodness and dual video set up in mATX format DFI is the way to go. Otherwise get the P5E-VM HDMI. I havent been following AMD much so not sure what is availble there lately. Its all about Intel these days as far as popularity and performance goes.
 
Hmm... thanks Skott. Looks like i will wait for the DFI board to drop. It will be my first DFI board purchase aswell 🙂.
