Hey all im planning on building a computer for general use and gaming and iv reached my first problem. I have started looking for motherboards for my computer and i have no idea what all the specs of the motherboard mean. For exampl:
MSI 915P Neo2 Platinum (MS-7028-020)
LGA 775 Motherboard for Pentium 4 processors. Intel 915P Chipset. 800/533/400MHz FSB. Dual Channel DDR2 400/533 RAM Support Max. 4GB (4 DIMMs), 1 PCI-E x16 Slot, Two PCI-E x1 Slots, 3 PCI Slots. IDE RAID, SATA RAID, 7.1 Sound, Firewire, Gigabit LAN
Could someone please explain this stuff to me so i can understand it and possibly point me in the direction of what kind of specs and motherboard i should be looking for to build a general/average gaming computer.
