Q: I want to upgrade my motherboard (I don't need an integrated one) and don't know which of the two manufacturers to pick. What do you think?
A: Choosing a motherboard starts with choosing a CPU. Intel and AMD processors use different mobos. Then you can choose the chipset and from there a motherboard. I recommend reading the chipset reviews at Tom’s Hardware and Anandtech to get an idea of the relative merits of each kind. I strongly prefer the Athlon chips, but if you must buy an Intel processor you’ll be choosing from 915 or 925x chipset. Anand says that the Asus P5GD2 is the best motherboard sporting a 915 chipset. If you’re going with and Athlon 64 Anand likes the ATI Radeon Xpress 200.
