To check the performance of all motherboards we carried out several tests-3D
Mark and POV-Ray for checking graphical performance, PC Mark for checking
overall performance of a machine, CineBench R10 for checking performance of
processor cores, and SiSoftware Sandra for checking memory latency. The most
important factor to keep in mind before buying is the type of socket supported
by a motherboard-Intel's LGA775 socket is for Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, etc and
LGA 1366 socket is good for the latest Core i7 family. On the other hand if you
have an AMD processor, check for supported processor sockets. Other important
factors to check is the type of RAM supported, ie DDR, DDR2 or DDR3, number of
expansion slots, and the type of LAN card. Check for special features like dual
BIOS for BIOS recovery, number of USB slots, and over-clocking if you are a
gaming enthusiast. Presented below is a comparison of motherboards tested by us
over the past one year, based on price, benchmark results and specs. We've also
categorized them based on price.
