I know this is not the forum to ask, but what are some stable mobo's that have am2 support? any from DFI.

PLz give me details if you dont mind.
thanks all :D

Didn't you buy a new cpu lately?

Like Baron said, a 1214 is good, unless you can afford a 1216. The bigger the better, in my general thought pattern. Its all according to your budget. Bad thing is that AM2 isn't all that much faster than a 939 platform from what I've read. Sometimes it can be a bit slower and is far more picky about ram, but maybe that's getting better since the last I read about it.

Only two decent motherboards that I've seen, the ASUS Crosshair and the DFI Lanparty UT NF590. But that's my opinion.
