I agree, AM2 mobos are very outdated and mobos, like everything in electronics nowadays, gets better with every generation. You should just get a new one. I recommend the Asus M5A97 LE mobo. It is $60 after rebates and is an excellent ATX mobo. Here is the link to it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
