Hi,
Great Forum, U Guys rock!!
I'm going to build my own htpc and i would like your help with choosing the best hardware.
The things that i need help with are only the motherboard choice.
GOAL:
Build htpc without hdd/sdd (already have one) for around 150 euro's.
Preferably with dual channel memory (if possible)
I will install 4gb of memory single channel or 2gb dual (cutting cost)
I have build pc's before so i'm not totally a noob on this matter but i would like some hands-on practical information from you guys.
Which board would you choose?
I want a APU motherboard and im currently stuck between the following MB's.
1.ASRock E350M1 (cheapest) (cheapest.)
2. ASRock AD2700 (more expensive)
3. Sapphire pure white fusion e350m1w (more expensive)
1.Is it possible with one of these 3 boards to have dual channel memory?
2.Im aware that some boards have usb 2.0 instead of 3.0, i don't mind.
3.I know that ATI does show better quality but also is harder to install on OE.
4.Much help appriciated.
Excuse my bad english. I live in holland.
Thnx
