Hello,
New to anandtech, not new with PC's, going to college now for network specialist AS. Been into computers for around 10 yrs. For almost the whole time though i was a AMD fan , athlon and up until, release of intel core 2 duo etc. So, I'm a little unsure as to what motherboard / chipset combination's would be good for around the $150 price range or under, that at least quad core capable , with @ least FSB 1333 etc , and have two PCI-express x16.
Not sure who's better now, the nvidia , or intel chipsets now and days for these types of mobo's.
Also i plan to buy a wolfdale quadcore 45nm will that require a certain motherboard?
thanks,
welcome any and all replies
