My 4 year old motherboard went RIP last week. Can anyone advice the best setup I can go for next?
In particular are there any recent ones that have proven to work with three Sonic Core cards. I have two Pulsar IIs, and one Pulsar I.
I'm not up on the latest tech, so advice appreciated.
Cheers,
Menno

Obviously someone else (like GaryB or whoever) will be current on what's available now.
Main assumption may be to stick with the Intel boards. Chipsets seem be very Scope-friendly.

Greg is giving you sound advice. I would go Intel all the way...motherboard, processor, and even RAM!

If you want to go for a more modern board, I've been using the DFI LP LT X48-T2R Motherboard with no problems at all. Rock solid and easy to set up. I overclock from 2.7 GHz to 3.2.

...and if you want to go for the very latest, you could try the ASRock X58 which supports LGA 1366, Core i7. I have not used it, but it's the one I'm most likely to upgrade to if I stick with the 3 card setup instead of getting an Xite.
