    Tips for choosing the best board for games

    Since there are many gamers that want the perfect board for the gaming purpose, I am providing some tips that might help all that gamers. Motherboard is the heart of general computer system. It is the part that connects to all the other parts together and make sure they run smoothly. As such, the choice of the best games of the motherboard is the most important task to do when building a team game. The following are some tips for choosing the best board for games :
    • Decide what type of CPU to use - This might be irrelevant to the choice of a motherboard. In fact, this is the most important thing to do before selecting a motherboard. The reason is that the CPU type determines the type of card you need. Lets take an Example, if you choose an Intel CPU, then you have to get the socket 775 motherboard or the CPU does not go into the motherboard. Decide on the type of CPU will help you make a better decision to choose the best motherboards games.
    • To determine if the motherboard supports the CPU type you have chosen - As mentioned before, if you're using an Intel CPU, you have to get a socket 775 motherboard while an AMD CPU requires a socket AM2 motherboard. Moreover, some of the older socket 775 motherboards are not compatible with dual core processors (although they use the same socket) or even quad-core processors. Check out the website of the manufacturer for confirmation before buying the motherboard.

    Some more tips for choosing the best board for games :
    • Overclocking features - If you are overclocking your CPU, you have to get a motherboard that allows you to change the FSB speed and CPU voltage in small increments.
    • RAM support and no. memory slot - Your motherboard should be able to support DDR2 memory, for one simple reason that DDR2 is currently the fastest RAM in the market. Something extra to consider is the speed of RAM that the motherboard supports. Some motherboards can support only up to DDR2 667MHz RAM, while the most recent can support up to DDR2 1066. In addition, you may want to upgrade your RAM in the future, hence the current motherboard must have at least 4 memory slots and can support up to 8GB of RAM, so you have the option to upgrade in the future.
    • SLI / Crossfire ready - SLI / CrossFire Ready motherboard means you can make use of two identical high-performance graphics card to render the graphics, thus achieving a faster video and more realistic effects. Not every motherboard supports this feature. As video effects increasingly advanced, it will be soon that SLI or Crossfire technology becomes the standard for video display. Therefore, even if they are using this technology now, it is still advisable to get a motherboard game with SLI or Crossfire feature.
    • SATA 2 controller - SATA2 can transfer data at twice the speed of SATA 1. When it comes to game s, all charges at one speed and that the increase in speed could be the deciding factor in his game. A 2-port SATA is compatible with SATA 1 devices, but not vice versa. It is better for you to get a motherboard that supports SATA 2 devices. Also, if you are using RAID, then you have to get a motherboard that has four SATA 2 ports.

    You may want to consider additional features such as additional USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, LAN, integrated front panel LEDs to choose a motherboard for gaming. Some of the sheets contain more features than the other and you have to compare around to see the differences. Features such as integrated audio and video are not as important on the motherboard best game because he could not contribute to a session of play good. For a team game, you have to get a separate graphics card and sound card in order to play the last game on the market.
