Well i hae been lookin' at some motherboards for the desktop i'm tryin' to build for me and my parents. My friend said should use a 2.5 GHz motherboard, but when i look at all the motherboards online, i see other stuff like sockets..... I'm so confused about that stuff.
Can you guys suggeston a motherboard.
The main use for the desktop is for PhotoShop CS2, dad's Bernina Embrodiary software, and music, and burnin' DVD's.
Any suggestion would help, links to the specific motherboard you are suggestin' would help even more.
Thanks.
