So I'm looking to buy myself a new motherboard. I'm going to go with Gigabyte, as I've heard awesome stuff about them.
Here are some of the specs I want:
-Price: 50-75
-Memory: Support for 4GB at 800MHz+ speeds
-Socket: LGA 775 (C2D/Dual-Core)
-FSB: 1333/1066MHz
-PCI-E x16 (I will be purchasing a HD2600 Pro)
Now here's the questions:
-I will be using onboard video for a while, which one is better: Intel G31 or nVidia GeForce 7050/nForce 610i?
-Also, when it says it supports C2D does it also support Dual-Core? Some CPUs are classified as Dual-Cores and other C2D
-Also, if I had to choose between Dual Channel support or a better onboard video, which one do I go with?
Lastly, if you can guarantee me good performance out of another brand, post a link. I'm not a fanboy, I've just heard pretty good things from Gigabyte owners. Make sure the card fits my requirements. I'm doing a moderate upgrade until I can get a job, which will be in one year (taking 4 college classes [AP] next year and I won't have time).
