Mobo question?

No. There isn't any AM3 motherboards for $40, DDR3 only available on AM3 motherboards.

O.K. DDR2, but is it true that you should never buy a cheap motherboard when im done building my computer, and my system crashes because the mobo is a piece of crap, I wont be happy could you point me tword a link for a few options please.

I just need something with PCI-E 16, Socket AM2, DDR2 support, PCI expantion slot"s", and SLI compatability.

my budget for JUST the

mobo is 0/100 Dollars but I prefer something cheaper. (saving up for an x4 Phenom   )

please help me soon.

Well the cheapest SLI capable AMD board would the be the 750a. From newegg this Zotac is about your price range: $95

I've never worked with SLI AMD boards, so I don't know how well this motherboard is.

For standard non overclocking use, a cheap motherboard is fine, as long as it comes from a reputable company. Asus, gigabyte, MSI, and asrock are some of my favorites.
