So my girlfriend had had nothing but problems with her current mother board. It has issue on start up consistently and recently her on board sound has gone out. Now I know I can fix this issue with a sound card but since we have had so many issue we are just going to replace the motherboard. Here is my problem, when I looked up her socket type it showed a AM3 now when I searched motherboards there is only 2 option on Newegg. Too top it all off the two options that it showed was a open box and the other was out of stock. Now here is the issue besides the 2 options. I know only some motherboards that are AM 3+ support AM 3 but when I was searching her socket type I ton of AM 3+ options came up in the search. All I did was type in her processor. Her processor is a AMD Phenom II x6 1045T. I need a new motherboard, any idea or options I should check?

I'm going to add to this. I just looked up AM 3 Motherboards on amazon and the only thing that came up was one option close to $200.00. Tons of AM 3+ options yet again
