I have a monitor, but thanks  |
This board was in the news section of ASUS only yesterday. Its not even in their list of motherboards. It will probably take a month to reach our shores after its released in the JAP/US/Taiwanese markets. Its should not cost more than 200 dollars. You will save that amount due to its power saving features in a few months since you intend to keep it on most of the time. If you are using only the net you do not even need a hard drive if you have about 3GB memory.
As far as memory goes make sure you get memory that runs at 1333mhz if you are getting e8300;; and 1066 speed memory if you are getting E7200. Sincerely wait for this combo you will not regret it.

The idea is to have memory speed and the FSB at the same value with memory at the tightest clock timings. The explanation is too long so please excuse me as I might end up confusing you more. If you cannot afford 1333 speed memory then stick with 1066 speed memory but then you can buy the cheaper E7200 processor which works best at 1066FSB.
