mATX Boards

[Phunky]

I cant figure out what mATX board to get i want it for a lan Rig that i will be putting a Q6600 and a 8800GTS in with it.

I want to overclock the Q6600 but i know i will struggle a bit in a SFF based case.

Most of the mATX boards out there seem to be based on the G33 Chipset and the only real difference is price and internal gfx card which i really dont care for.

I've narrowed it down to the following:

Foxconn G33M-S £66.96,

Intel DG33TLM "Tower Lake" £85.76

Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD £68.14

The only reason the Abit is in this list is that i have the mobo in my current media pc and it seemed like a nice little board.

I cant help but think that the Foxconn hits all the right spots tbh but i just want to make sure im thinking along the same lines.

I'm going for one of the nVidia 730i mATX boards...

Cheaper than G33 boards, but only take 4Gb RAM max ect.

I've only seen the 630i boards? can you link me to one of these 730i please.

I wish there was a mATX board without onboard audio, gfx and all the other crap that some of us dont want

Dream board at the moe would just have 12xUSB, 4xSATA + 2 eSATA and Dual Gig Ethernet

Iirc G33 is just P35 + IGPU.

I think its gigabyte that make a very, very sound matx board but i cant remember the name. Meltedduron has one...
