Motherboard advocate ?

i would approaching to know first

is motherboard's specification really important within overall system's performance.

i am buying

Core 2 duo 1.8

2 GB DDR2 667

19 Wide peak TFT

250 GB Sata

sony writer etc

as i dont want to use SLI or i dont want to over clock at all.

i am thinking to buy essential series board which is

intel D945GCL which supports everything.

should i consider this and will this board minimize my computer's performance ?

Board point has a pretty big impact on overall perfomance. Personally, I would use a Intel 965 chip motherboard because they enjoy more features. I actually build a similar system for my business, own a look below.
Yes it is important, the days which boards hold identical behaviour spec is way at the back us now; although you didn't specify what tasks are expected to execute with this assembly. If you want flimsy tasks only (no gaming nor photo processing) you can buy anything that hits your fancy within primary market, no homework needed unless you endeavour into flee markets.



I would ditch Widescreen for Normal eyeshade TFT, cost would veto the Wide/Normal shibang.
The boards doesn't really change the speed of the cpu, memory, etc. Just features. Just look for reviews. Use a 965 chipset as one suggested, better choice. 975 would be an overkill. In this review:

You can see the proof of no difference.

You didn't mentioned what video card or if you're gaming at adjectives. If not gaming or any cpu intensive apps, just win a AMD machine. If gaming, you call for to get bring back best video card you can get.
Go for Intel
