If I buy this motherboard...

what would be the recommendation to back up this board. Meaning CPU, Hardrive, Video Card (I am not a gamer so could use nothing and be OK) Sound Card (Pretty buff but not crazy)

Whatever...If you were basing a system on this board
What would you do?

VIA EPIA M10000 Motherboard

EPIA Motherboard:
Outpost #: 3571534
Chipset: VIA CLE266 North Bridge
Processor Support: VIA C3 Processor 1GHz CPU Included
Memory Support: Up to 1GB PC2100 DDR
Expansion Slot: 1 PCI
Other Features: AC 97, USB 2.0, IEEE 1394, VGA Intergrated, LAN, S-Video

 

well thats a very old motherboard bundle, which includes a 1ghz VIA C3 processor and on-board VGA video. Upgradeability is basically nonexistant, as there is no AGP port for video cards.

If you're going to run this solely as a word processing/ light internet browsing machine, go for it. If you want anything else, steer clear of that, it will be a very slow machine all around.

 

As inyearstocome said you will not be able to add a Graphics card, for more info and a total Review go here then make your mind up. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/epia-m10000.html

 

i'd take us 60 to frys electronics by the mall and spend a little more to buy a basic system.Or wal-mart even. I'm not a fan of box machines but any that they had in stock would e a VAST IMPROVEMENT over that
