Mobo question?

[Total War Addict]

Hello, I have heard that you can get a PCI-E x16 w/ Slots for DDR3 memory, PCI expantion slots and Socket AM2 for 40 Dollars?!?!

I've also heard that you should never go for the cheap motherboard and if the price is too good to be true, it probobly is.

Is all this true, could I get that kind of a mobo for 40/50 dollars!?!?

PLEASE TELL ME, PRONTO!

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

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.
