every cpu made in the last 10 years! benchmarked in all areas, just look
though the pages till you find a benchmark that meets your area.
has for the motherboard, if your not a o'c geek or a benchmark freak, then
its a feature thing, go for the best feature to performance ratio. my
remmendations are
Asus
Gigabyte
Abit
ECS
I've only built machines with the first two but i've read alot of good
things about the second two, other good manufacturers are
msi
shuttle
chaintech
dfi
foxconn
the only one i would stay away from is soyo, but thats only out of a single
bad experience i had as a kid (my first real pc had a soyo mb)
