Tom's Hardware benchmarked six of the latest-gen Intel motherboards and was unable to pick a winner. The motherboards, all sporting Intel's P35 Express chipset, "offer support DDR3 memory and the next generation of FSB1333 Intel Core 2 processors."Why should a fellow System Builder care about this article? In their conclusion, it is stated that all of the motherboards "were so close in performance that benchmark results can't accurately determine a winner, because the differences are smaller than the benchmark's degree of accuracy.... And that's why I can't pick a board for you. Each buyer must determine which "killer feature" set best suits his or her needs."
This is one less component requiring a great deal of research. Seems like a quick look at the features of a few boards sporting the P35 Express chipset will help you pick your winner.
