Ok I think ur curious more sa Hardware ha..then a good buyer should know the specs well etc... and thats a good attitude.

Ok the things you should consider are: (my opinion lang ni)

- Brand (ASUS) For me is a veteran mobo manufacturer and I would recommend you to that coz maski ilang low-end nga mobo has high quality meaning other manufacturers could not compete their quality.

- Chipsets (Nvidia, AMD, SIS, Intel) is a good choice of chipsets.
- Capacitors (Much better you would choose a solid capacitors sa mobo coz mas durable)
- Types of MOBO (ATX or MicroATX are the most common be sure mo fit sa imo casing)
- Designs sa board(my opinion I prefer a black type of PCB sa mobo)
- Defects (Factory defects should not be taken for granted check jud na nimo labi na ang mga bents sa mobo)
- Socket (775 for INTEL / AM2 or AM2+/AM3 for AMD) Before buying processor be sure your board match the socket and support limit.)
- SATA support
- Sound card (built-in 6.1 channel would be good)
- Read the manuals sa iya specific PSU voltage iya kailangan

Daghan pa pero for me mao ni ako gina check before buying a mobo:

I hope it helpz..
