I need help in finding the right Socket 754 mobo... I am looking at either a Dvine D4 or Coolermaster CM Media 250 HTPC case to put it in... The problem is I need it to have firewire and I want a chipset with either nforce 3 or 4 to make sure it works with Myth. There only seems to be 2 available on Newegg. M-ATX or Full ATX will work, if I go full then I will have to get the DVine Case because it supports both. I would like to know if anybody has any other suggestions here, or should I step it up to a socket 939 in order to open up my options? Thanks! |

I use a socket 754 NF3 mobo and a Sempron 3100+. It is a real cheap ECS NFORCE3-A, I even use the onboard sound and NIC it works great with R5C7. I do not have firewire so I have no idea if that is supported. |

Ok that's cool... but now I'm starting to think if firewire is even that necessary. Can somebody tell me the benefits of using firewire and what other alternatives I have? I am thinking to utilize firewire only because my Cable box has it integrated... but if it won't make much of a difference it would really open up my options. Sorry if it's a stupid que, I'm a noob to HTPC. Thanks! |

Have people had success with the BIOSTAR K8NHA Grand Mobo? I searched the forums but couldn't find much. AND ARE THERE ANY OPTIONS FOR MICRO ATX BOARDS WITH THESE SPECS? THANKS! |

Since your cable box has Firewire, you should be able to use the Firewire connection to change channels and record programs. No tuner card required. It might depend on a lot more factors, though. Hopefully someone who's currently using Firewire to record can reply. |
