You must decide what CPU you want to use, then find mobo
that support that CPU (or family of CPUs). You then decide
what you want the mobo to support, such as Firewire, SATA,
USB 2.0, Gigabit LAN, RAID, PCI Express, and pick a price
range.
You can find reviews in magazine such as Computer Shopper
and on Tom's Hardware

Think about future upgrades, if you buy the wrong mobo, any
worthwhile upgrade will require a new mobo. Get a board
with enough slots so you can add components.
