Motherboard for 7.X & 8.X
« on: January 31, 2011, 02:35:56 AM »
Can anyone suggest a new motherboard (Intel or AMD) that I can use that will handle 7.X and then be OK when I upgrade to 8.X.

John,

I am in the middle of that at the moment, I had a limited budget so my options were limited.

Have a look at these posts of mine and see if you can get any help from there.

I have read Lloyd's posts and found that byte is using a Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2 main board. I would like to know if I can use RAID1 (mirror) with this board.
Also would like to know what processor was used.
