What is a motherboard?

Don't go for a cheap chipset

The chipset is what makes the motherboard. It is the circuitry on the board that supports the CPU. The chipset carries out the orders. A top notch CPU will be wasted if you have a cheap chipset. So look for motherboards like the Intel Desktop Board D915PBLL -- specially designed to handle any kind of processor power.
