Conroe mATX+raid?

Laggy7 · 7th September 2006, 11:11 PM

Hey Guys,

i am looking for a mATX mobo socket 775 (core duo) that has raid, after just spending 2 hrs setting up my pc and finding out it doesnt have raid (GA-945GM-S2) and having a quick look around i couldnt find a mobo that did, anyone seen anything?

or is the socket and chipset so new they dont bother with mATX gear?

also need on the board:

gigabit lan
ddr2
pcie
sata 2 raid

If you're prepared to wait 2 weeks the 965 boards should be out.

There's also one from Asus.

Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2
ASUS P5B-VM

Asus mobo only just released overseas so not long

Still haven't found a place that actually has it in stock.
They only list, that they do. . .

trying to stay well clear of shuttles this time around, got one last time and you cant upgrade the mobos!

i ended up building a complete new system and went mATX but i am still on the hunt for more duo mobos with RAID

I suppose its one of those things where planning what you want to do will get the longest period out of your shuttle, I've had my SN25P for a year now, I am still able to throw a 4400 x2 s939 CPU into it and that will do me for a fair bit longer - Currently running a 3700 sandy.

yeah i had a shuttle for ages it was a good little pc and it suprised a lot of people about how fast it was and great for lan's and games. considering you could get all that into a little pc

sn25p was to be my next upgrade to go for pcie but looking at the amdx2's becnhmarks vs conroe i changed my mind and went intel its quieter, cooler, faster and cheaper than the amd option

still on the lookout for a good selection of mobos, good to get the sff pc's with everything on it. i take mine to sea with me while all the boys bring their laptops which cant play games or store lots of movies

i just got my hands on an Asus P5B-VM and i'm it has SATA RAID 0 and 1 on board. It's also got onboard sound, video, gigalan and firewire. I bought mine with an e6400 and 1 gig o' ram. Its a breeze to put together.
