RobJ Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=710828 This is a very good and very long report/thread on AVS with a large section on motherboards, with specs and links to many reviews. Although it is primarily slanted to HTPC use, it is still very useful. It is primarily Intel-based, but there is some support for AMD boards also. It starts with a lot of HTPC info (of peripheral interest to many unRAID users), has a lot of educational material, lots of specs and reviews in relation to processors, memory, chipsets, hard drives, etc. It includes some recommendations and price data on Newegg. It's a little out-of-date, but I think that's a lost cause. There's no way a single person can keep a report of this magnitude up-to-date, and keep a job and family. 'Appendix IV List of Bandwidths' is very useful, listing many component bandwidths in MB/sec or GB/sec; very helpful in determining where a speed bottleneck is. I only recently discovered this resource, others may already have been familiar with it. I do wish it had a way to search for the boards with the most SATA ports. Quote Link to comment
