The list contains motherboards that have the appropriate graphics card interface, and takes into account several other features including SLI and Crossfire.

It has 16 GB DDR3 maximum RAM and conforms to the ATX form factor standard.

It uses the DDR3 memory type, with maximum speeds of up to 1333 MHz, and 4 DDR3 slots allowing for a maximum total of 16 GB RAM.

Conforming to the ATX standard, the Gateway DX4860 should fit into the majority of cases.

ATX is the most common form factor, and as such has a high degree of compatibility with other components while providing a decent number of slots to widen your expansion options.

This allows for integrated graphics when paired with a compatible CPU that supports them.

Integrated graphics are a cheap alternative to using a graphics card, but should be avoided when frequently using modern applications or games that require intense graphical processing.

The Gateway DX4860 does not support multiple graphics cards via Nvidia SLI or AMD Crossfire.

While USB 3.0 slots are so far by no means necessary, and with a plethora of USB 2.0 peripherals to choose from, the USB functionality on this motherboard should be fine.

If planning on building a new system, a motherboard with USB 3.0 is likely to have a longer life cycle, however.
