If you want to assemble your new desktop for high speed performance you need a brand new intel 945chipset motherboard. I find such a motherboard design by Asus and this model is known as P5G-MX. Some of the special features of that motherboard is it is intel core 2 processor ready. It all support Graphics media accelerator like 950 so that their should be some good graphics performance. This mother board support DDR2 memory that transfer at rate 667/533 MHz. The boost the performance of the system and best result are found in case of internet access and playing any 3D animation game. The highest bandwidth is 10.7 GB/s. Most of the the recent motherboard are removing the PCI and this one has the PCI express edition to support various slots. High definition sound are available here.
