Buying Mobo - Need Advice!

[mwiz79]

Am doing an AMD X2 3800+ AM2 build and can't decide on Mobo.

The machine won't be used for gaming so don't really want to spend on SLi. But am little scred to buy M2N-E considering the RAM related issues.

ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe ATX AMD Motherboard nVidia 570 based $142.99

Or

ASUS M2N4-SLI Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD $97.99

Or

ASUS M2N-E Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP ATX AMD Motherboard $92.99

Or any other?

Also please suggest RAM that goes the recommended mobo.

TIA,
M

Check all quality equipment listings and cross-check the RAM that works with your motherboard. If you really don't care about gaming then buy the cheapest hardware you can find with minimal issues. RELIABLE, but cheap nonetheless. I suggest going through newegg.com. They have tons of customer reviews for everything they sell. You can't beat honest customer feedback. Hope this helps.

Dont go for the newegg reviews, theyre worthless. If something works out of the box poof! its magical and beautiful, even if itll die in a week...

If youre concered about the RAM compatibility check the QVL of your mobo and the ram youre planning on buying for compatibility on the especific products...

The ABIT KN9 ULTRA might also suit your needs.
