ECS's 945G-M3 Viiv-compliant motherboard is a good starting point for building your own media PC. Based on Intel's 945 chipset, this motherboard supports the full range of Intel's processors, including dual-core chips and those with an effective 1,066MHz frontside bus. If you don't fancy getting all the other Viiv components, such as Windows XP Media Center Edition, the 945G-M3 is a good choice for a normal Windows PC, too.
