Recomended for current cpu

I use the biostar N61PB-MS2 with 2 ddr2 slots, 4 sata and 1 ide port. It works ok and will run many am3 cpus with a bios flash. It doesn't overclock for me at all, but I'm not that knowledgable about the subject. If you want to run any phenom cpus that are higher than 95 watts, check the board specs carefully before ordering. Many cheaper boards have a recommended limit of 95 watts.

As said any am2+ board should do. But since you have to upgrade your board I think you should just uprgade your cpu at the same time. I would go for a x3 or x4 640 or even one of the pii x2 cpus.

Best solution

I say go with this board

ASRock A780GMH/128M $69.99

It supports just about all AM2 and AM3 CPUs except the 140W models. Anyway you get this board now, and drop in a 720BE or something later.

If that's too much for you then a step down would be

ASRock A780LM $54.99

You loose the solid capacitors as well as the ACC to possibly unlock extra cores, but hey it's cheaper and it still have overclocking options :D .
