I'm building a system for my home office and am looking for a chipset and/or mobo recommendation. The box will be used almost exclusively for database work, but I'm forced to use XP so 4gb of memory is all i can install. I won't be gaming or overclocking at all, and since my office is in the corner of my bedroom stability and silence are the two biggest priorities.
It's been awhile since I kept up with the hardware scene, but I know I'll be getting a Q9450, 2x2gb of Crucial RAM (dunno what speed I need tho), a WD Raptor, and a new GF8500. What's solid & quiet these days in the chipset/mobo world?
