Clarkdale

Hi Ogi!!! I think you’re officially my first Facebook real friend to start a thread here ever!

Assuming you can’t wait for the next Sandy Bridge version (or need it), then i would recommend the INtel Clarkdale platform. There’s several good boards, depending on the size you need. They can all handle a Core i3 and can also bit stream. I’ve been using the DH55 (i think) for the past while and haven’t had a single issue, so i think u’ll be pleased.

You might want to consider upping to a Core i5 if only for future needs. But based on what you’re using it for, the i3 should be fine.
