Good, Micro ATX AMD2 Motherboard Needed

Thanks

You gonna do any overclocking? Have any chipset preference? Budget?

 

[TurkzZ]

budget is 30-60, i wont be overclocking

WOW, really small budget. Most mobos start at $50. $60 is normally the cheapest low-end one you can get, especially for AM2......Ok then.......hey, we're all victims of budget, right?

In that case.......keep in mind this is really on the cheap. Here are 3 different brands, not sure if you have a preference. Each are in your price range:

MSI K9VGM-V Socket AM2 VIA K8M890 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130542

ECS C51GM-M (V1.0) Socket AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135010

ASUS M2V-TVM Socket AM2 VIA K8M890 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131036

ECS one isn't the best chipset.....I'd say it's a toss up between the MSI and the ASUS. Personally, I'd go with the ASUS.

lol sorry i meant £40 - £60, so thats 75$ - 110$

for overclocking, I'll prefere Foxconn ones, but sadly, they don't have good one for AM2 yet even it's already showed in several shows before..

they only have NVIDIA 6100 chipset, I'll prefere 6150 wich they only oofer for Socket 939 at this time

 

[TurkzZ]

are there not any good AM2 ones?

Hi,
For mATX AM2 Boards in the UK you can also get

Asrock have 4 boards the ALiveNF6G-DVI (GF6100) seems the best about £50-70

Biostar Tforce GeForce 6100-AM2 Mainboard

But I dont know of any with the newer chipsets

 

[TurkzZ]

[TurkzZ]

u is the Greek symbol for micro as in MicroATX.

btw have a look at http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=118856 - it's a shame that you wouldn't be overclocking but the results say a lot about the board's engineering.

there was only 1 mATX board with SLi for 939 & I doubt that it's going to be any better for AM2.

the ASUS LN15779 is a bit over my budget, but with all the special features ect it looks apealing.
