Question 1

What case / power supply would be best with this motherboard?

Accepted Answer

I bought a small slim line case which included a 250 watt power supply. When you purchase a slim line case, double check to see what kind of optical drive the case takes....some of the slim line cases take slim laptop optical drives.  On the slim optical drives, you have to convert the micro SATA on the optical drive to regular SATA.

Question 2

Intel says HyperThreading is not supported (ark.intel .com / products / 78868/Intel-Pentium-Processor-J2900-2M-Cache-up-to-2_67-GHz) yet this page says it does... Who's right?

Accepted Answer

Intel is correct on this, the processor only has 4 cores and 4 threads.  What Elitegroup is stating is that their motherboard supports a hyper-threaded processor.
