Best 775 socket motherboard for a Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Yorkfield QuadCore
Greggory Shaw:
I looked around on the forum but really didn't see anything.
Does anyone remember the best 775 motherboard at that time? I plan on running the latest ArcaOS and Linux on it.
1) I be using a Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Yorkfield Quad-Core processor with 8 GB of memory.
2) Is best to still use a X800 or X850 TX PE with SNAP accelerated. or a newer high-end card using the Panorama driver?
3) I'll only be using OS/2 and Linux (no gaming) so X850 TX PE?
And I found this on eBay for $116 is it worth it?

I already have an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 :)
And I'm building two setups, one for OS/2 with the latest supported hardware @ that time (which are old and cheap) and top of the line over the next couple of months.
What is your setup with OS/2 if I may ask?
