So my current motherboard is cooked, and I've been shopping around but I don't know what to look for these days. I was wondering what people on this forum would recommend for a socket 775 mobo. The chip I will be using is an Intel E6600 and this will probably end up being file/web/FTP server.
That said, there are a few things I'm looking for. First, if possible, I would like onboard graphics. I'm going to build a new Sandy Bridge rig, so I'll be using the current video card in the new system.
Second, I would like onboard sound, for the same reason I described above. However, I'm planning to run the server on Ubuntu, so I need a board that has Linux drivers for these integrated components. Dual gigabit LAN would be nice, but not necessary. Also, I'm looking for a board that uses DDR2, NOT DDR3.
Finally, I need 6 SATA connectors. I know this is a bit of a tall order, but I was hoping someone out there knew of something with this feature set.
