Whether you're building a new computer or upgrading an old friend, its best to start with the motherboard. The first thing to consider when buying a motherboard is its chipset and then maybe its size or form factor. A common form factor is ATX, which comes with its own set number of mounting holes, slot locations and PSU connectors. Most computer motherboards are designed around a chipset that supports either AMD or Intel. Since the motherboard determines what kind of memory and processor you can put in your computer, you better decide which processor you want. Once you've decided which processor you want, i.e., AMD or Intel, you have to find a suitable motherboard by its socket type, i.e., socket 478 for the Pentium 4 and socket A for the AMD. As for memory, most boards support DDR2 SDRAM which is offered at a variety of speeds. Recommendations: since its never a good idea to go for the latest in processors, you will be looking for a motherboard that does the best job of bringing out the best in the processor and the memory. With an older processor, there will more options to choose from when it comes to chipsets and memory. Once you find the best chipset, get the fastest memory supported by the board. USB and FireWire ports are worth considering if you want to use new peripherals like printers and digital cameras.
