Hello
Well, this great for asking.
Well, here in Portugal, one thing that i see is that many of my costumers buy and specially since the crysis in all the world because of money and all sort of things, the cheapest motherboards but with quality.
One thing that i would like to see in an motherboard, in an motherbaord with
not so many extras like sas that here nobody uses and lose the second pci-e
slot for example.
So in this i think, good price / cost motherboard is :
-> 1x pci-e Slot 16x
-> 1x pci-e Slot 1x ( above the pci-e 16x )
-> 1/2x pci-e slot 4x
-> 2x pci slot ( the normals ) for tv tuner and older pci device.
( forgive me if i dont do the mathīs for the lanes ).
-> Bios with ZIF socket ( of exchange in case of corruption )
-> SPI connector for recording and reading bios with apropriate device
-> Display led ( if i not expansive ).
-- Connections on the backside :
-> ps2 conector for mouse and keyboard
-> plenty of usb connectors
-> no firewire
-> 2 esata connectors
-> audio onboard good quality with optical/rca output
-- In the motherboard
-> 6 sata connectors -> lay down in motherboard as in dfi p45jr
-> passive cooling for the SB but in place that dont interfere
with dual cards like gtx 295 , that kills the airflow of the SB.
Things that personally i would like to see because of the "dumb" ones :
Really big stick in cpu socket about damage pins.
and some protection in the SB chip because of the replacement of the
heatsink.
if foxconn has an good motherboard and simples, meaning users dont have
to pay for what they dont use, that is commercially ok, than itīs sales ( that
is the purpose in the end, proffit ).
Thanks
