Im looking for a mini-atx mobo for a build i'd like to start. Its going to be my main gaming/photo editing/everything computer so i want somthing that has lots of power and a good chipset for either AMD or Intel. The case im going to use is a Apple G5 which only has 4 expansion slots. I dont need SLI or CrossFire as i plan to go with a decent Nvidia card and a physX card.
Here are some rough spec's that i'll either need or want.
Need:
Dual IDE while i wait for a new HD
Sata 2
DDR2 667 with possibly option to 800
AM2 or 775 conroe
Good onboard audio/ onboard spdif and coax out would be nice but not needed
M-ATX
Overclocking abbillity (more so if its an AMD board)
I would prefer active cooling on the chipset over heatpipe or sink but is not necessary. I've looked around but i cant find any good gaming orientated m-atx boards.
