945, 965, 975, p35, g33, x38, g31, 680, 650, and more...
I'd imagine that buying sometime in the next month means I should look for G33/P35/650 boards? I have been trying to switch to Linux ...where intel/nvidia seem to get the best support? Something common is a good bet for Linux it would seem.
The plan: a C2D setup that can overclock a bit at least, and be compatible with Quad-core as apparently their prices are going to plummet...
uATX would be my preference as it opens up a few nice case possibilities, but I understand that ATX is still usually better for the same money?
High quality onboard audio (and not just 7 rubbish noisy channels that cannot do positional stereo) is the only feature I'd be particularly interested in. Or at least onboard audio that is capable of good stereo positional audio, perhaps supporting EAX for gaming
comment/suggestions welcomed.
Boards just spotted in the wild that won't be available for a month are good too.
Thanks!
