True Value, with regard to idealism is based on more then performance.  In fact, every piece of hardware we sell is evaluated based on 10 core performance values. A motherboard that stacks up well with regard to each category is what we will generally use in nearly every system from low end basic workstation to our EE Knight ~ David Valentine Signature Performance System or even Workgroup File Server.

For example, the Asus M4A88TD-M USB3 Scores well and is our current favorite due to it's excellent performance with a 6 core AMD CPU, DDR3 2100 memory, SATA 6 and USB 3 support.  It falls a bit due to it's higher street price but nicely makes up for this by placing very well in the Stability, Durability, Warranty, Energy Efficiency, Future Proof, Layout and Multi-Environment Flexibility.

EI-PC 10 Core Values:


  1. Performance (as little waiting for anything as possible)

  2. Price (it's got to be financially feasible for the common man)

  3. Stability (it's got to be as solid as Windows 7 can possibly be)

  4. Durability (it should be really solid even under the most demanding conditions for a long time)

  5. Warranty (it should have 3 or more years of warranty support on all core components)

  6. Energy Efficiency (though very fast it should not add much to my energy bills)

  7. Upgradeability (it should be CPU, video, memory & storage upgradeable

  8. Future Proof (with upgrade path including 6 core CPUs, this will still be fast & fun in 3 years!)

  9. Layout / Look & Feel (Properly designed things always look and fit better)

  10. Multi-Environment Flexibility (works super well as Professional workstation or for Home entertainment)
