    Need recommendation for new motherboard and CPU for win7 x86


    Hi all I need a recommendation for a new motherboard and CPU suitable to run Win 7 x86 (32bit)

    I need the following:-

    1. If possible a dual monitor output, with separate feeds to monitors ( not the same single feed to both.) This saves adding a separate dual monitor graphics card.
    2. micro ATX to fit existing case.
    3. At least 4mb memory as I have been told is the max allowed by win7 x86.
    4. Suitable to view HD video playback.
    5. Fast enough to run trading software such as TD ameritrade etc.

    I have tried looking at the board manufacturers but have been lost with what chip set is best and all the different CPU AMD and Intell types.

    I would appreciate any input in this area, I have even looked a a new machine but they all now come with Win 8 which I have trouble using on a desk top I prefer to stick with Win7 for now.
